Bingo. I think it's the form of the subsidy that irks a lot of people. It just looks bad to a lot of people. I'm surprised that so many councilors voted for it in the first place. But, I agree the city needs to do something to get residential development entrenched in the area. And like it or not, that will involve spending tax dollars to make it happen.
Why not consider a property tax holiday for residents purchasing an new/unoccupied condo in the exchange?
