He classified it as a “project” which all of the fabulous investigations from
SoupInNYC we already knew it’s going to be a stadium and several other buildings as well, waterfront access. I’m hopeful, sounds like things are moving along again after being shut down for a few months.

which is expected, I mean where I am people still complained of the opening of a restaurant, not a bar, but restaurant.
honestly this the furthest along they ever been so he’s not wrong to feel optimistic since the first steps are taken but there is still long way to go.
Isn’t this just the team doing its yearly tradition of commenting or giving one of the local papers a story about a possible stadium just to keep STH. Payments restart next month. Unless the Outfield.org is reporting it, at this point the rest of the stories are just team spin.
well yes, what the outfield is reporting is probably what sims is referring to. And all that is the furthest we ever been even though it is really in its early stages. So like I said he is not “wrong” about being optimistic as ever because this is the furthest we ever been in the process.

is anybody surprised? i'm not. debozo is a clown.
As an outsider, I've long considered De Blasio to be one of the biggest failures in public life. Do city residents have a better view of his performance. Is he even defensible as a competent leader? Does anyone anywhere even consider his overall performance even "adequate"?
as a resident i have long disliked deblasio. he gets zero respect from me. i am counting down the days til the next mayoral election. he and his family are criminals.
At this point, I believe he's not well liked by almost anyone. It transcends left and right, though people disagree as to the reasons why. In fact, on certain issues the left and right despise him for seemingly contradictory reasons which I choose not to specify for forum purposes. But for someone who won twice and easily, his base of support is now incredibly thin.

New York City has an incredible passion for electing complete fools as mayor.
Honest question regarding deblasio: does he just not want NYCFC to exist or is he just too stupid to understand the implications of the team's current stadium situation?
I can see the NIMBY logic in the South Bronx, although I guess it kind of sounds more like the residents/community are seizing the opportunity to secure infrastructure improvements beyond NYCFC. I don't understand the mayor's reasoning though.
As an aside, is it wrong that I think both Willets Point or Sunnyside might be really good plan Bs for a stadium? Like maybe even better than the current proposal?

I don't think De Blasio has had anything to do or say about this current proposal. The mayor's office and first lady work pretty well with the team though, so I think he certainly sees the value they bring to the community.
This couldn't have been us in 2013? It was just some money for parking garages.
Huh?
Are you comparing the transferring of ownership of a baseball team to a large-scale development using city-owned land?
In a location that would have crippled the organization to Red Bulls-level of attendance.
Better to be patient and get it right than impatient and make a fatal mistake.
