If there was any chance i could attend either meeting i would have. i will attend as many meetings as possible. It's always preferred to listen, clap, and possibly utter a few words in support–when troublemakers filibuster. Even with this awful turn of event's, it's hard to admonish Caesar.


"Be patient till the last. Romans, countrymen, and lovers! Hear me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear. Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor that you may believe. Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more."
–Brutus

We will see how Millennium handles this project. But I believe we might be in a Bear Market. Looks like they might be holding the bag on this development.

This might get interesting.

The market is certainly taking a beating. If I can drum up the enthusiasm, I will attend tomorrow's Civic Design Commission meeting.

Two down days make a bear market?

Cub market?
 
Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

Don't be ridiculous. A correction was needed, but there's no recession at hand barring something extreme like war with NK.

You've been on here since 2006 and you're asking Rifle to not be ridiculous?

Unless piles of behind the scenes derivative trades on credit lead to margin calls which an overextended bank like Credit Suise cannot afford to pay which results in their collapse which results in hello 2008

lets see how tomorrow goes.

How is the FED going to stop this now? Can't lower rates?

I agree with you. Originally the Fed wanted to raise rates at least 3 to 4 times this year to begin to "clear enough cap space" to have room to stimulate the economy in a down turn.

The Administration, on the other hand, is pursuing a "weak dollar" to stimulate exports and improve the balance of trade as a MAGA policy. Tax changes will make it easier to repatriate corporate profits now hidden away in overseas tax havens.

The weak dollar/low interest makes it easier to finance the deficit, which will increase because the tax cuts will be funded by an increasing deficit.

So it is a gamble that the MAGA policy will stimulate the economy enough with tax cuts and repatriation of overseas corporate profit that the deficit financing of tax cuts will be only short term. Its a gamble...

As pertinent to this project, I'd get moving now while the cost of financing is low.
 
Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

It's actually a late cycle correction. Any project that isn't fully funded and started in the next year may end up being stalled. But not at this current moment.

Aka I see it as a warning shot.
 
Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

You do not know that. I can tell you for a fact that your statement about projects not being funded is simply untrue.

No, I don't know that, but I'm looking at the evidence that the economic cycle may peter out in about a year, and that affects large construction projects usually in that money dries up for anything but the lowest risk projects.

Good to know. BTW, what is your method for knowing what will occur in the future? Crystal ball or something less cliché?
 
Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

How about a project that already has financing if approved in that time table because I'm involved in it. Does that count or is that too crystal ball for you? The point is, its project to project, owner by owner. You cannot make a blanket statement. The sources of financing are vast these days, including a high tolerance of risk from foreign investors (big and small).

Since Odurandina is likely the most blocked user on this site, I am going to repost this information. There is a BCDC meeting about this building TONIGHT!
