The casino is further and I don't consider it the middle of nowhere...it's a built up area with hotels and commercial development all around. The site you refer to is on a country road with limited access and no residential/commercial/any development adjacent. Aka the middle of nowhere.
The fact is this development MUST go downtown or not happen at all...we can make parking available, in downtown Moncton parking is the LEAST of my worries. I personally don't care where exactly it goes downtown...I in fact was in favor of behind assomption place because it would FORCE the city to build parking garages for once.
Your point is moot and this is the wrong crowd for it, we are mainly pro "sustainable" development, "urban" development and "smart" development.
If you want support go to CBC.ca I'm sure they will love you there.
