Why isn't anyone talking about the aerotropolis?
This scandal-laden project, if it goes forward, will very likely cost us much more than a stadium, and will not bring any benefit to the city.
Meanwhile it is sliding through under the radar and being voted on at the same meeting as the next (and final? ya right) stadium vote:

There is a long list of valid reasons to NOT support aerotropolis, but to me, the biggest is the horrendously huge cost to taxpayers. A close second is the absolute lack of need for these industrial parks, as demonstrated by the very high vacancy rates in many many other industrial parks in the city.
But I guess aerotropolis is a lot less glamourous than the stadium despite being much more important...
