I think Blank wants to keep it downtown because of his commitment to the city, otherwise he wouldn't even make the concessions that are already on the table. However the man's benevolence has limits and this is what the city doesn't realize. They are on the path to overreaching for their hand outs. Personally I hope they continue down the woe is me path and end up with nothing. Fuck them.

I don't think the perception will be a problem. Sure people will say those things, but they are going to say shit no matter what you do. Again, fuck them. They can bitch all they want and it won't change a damn thing. They have no power, they have no control. The key is to not give a shit.
