Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett
If you meant using Eminent Domain or the threat of it for Wynn, that is an absolute travesty. Government should absolutely not use or even have the power to take land for another private developer (fuck Kelo v. New London). Just because strips malls are suburbia and car-centric does not mean it becomes okay.
If you mean actual infrastructure, like some kind of connection between them, then that's different. That understanding doesn't fit to the fact you said "sell to WYNN"
Wynn has money, he can buy it out on his own if he really wants it. And there is no guarantee that if he did get the land that he would transform it in a way that is an improvement for us. Maybe we'll get Assembly. Maybe we'll get an Assembly that still a net loss (like a more urban area, but we losing Costco, Target, and Home Depot - there's no gaurantee we'll get an urban version of them, sometimes suburban stuff has it usefullness). Hell, didn't like 10 pages ago someone said there's rumors he wants a golf course?
I wish the city of Everett forced that strip mall to sell to WYNN in the best interests of the public concerning Infrastructure.
