Like I have said.
People want Lansdowne to be developed.
Now it is time for a new poll with the two alternatives.
The Conservancy will win majority support.
People are in favor of change for sure, but not at the current price.
Order of magnitude is what both bids have presented and now before the internal procurement department review process.
Of course one has to examine how many pro stadiums NBBJ has designed and built compared to the developers. That is
apples and oranges, You go with the ones who are specialists for the price advantage. Competitive bidding works!
In the meantime the challenge is still out there for anyone who can accurately
describe the developer financial model.
New challenge. Can anyone show a final cost of the developer proposal? (going to be rather difficult since no final numbers have been shown!)
Any takers?
Bottom line? Why on earth are people fighting to support privatization of public space?
Are we fighting? Of course we are, to protect this beautiful public space and keep it self sustaining and public for the enjoyment of our grandchildren.
