I’m not sure where you’re going with this. It feels like you’re running in circles. First, you think the current Owner got a sweetheart deal by not putting up all the money. Now, you think that the Owner, or any other future Owner, wouldn’t also see that as a great deal? Huh?
-
Sure…why not? As you yourself said there are very few NFL stadiums in America. It’s a huge asset with a devoted fan base. There are numerous cities that have gone through it over the last many years.
-
I’m not sure how old you are, but the NFL existed long before the Buffalo Bills.
-
Why? First of all, the stadium will be in use for decades. Second, if the Bills walk away, who’s to say there won’t be a new tenant some years in the future? I’m just not getting your huge concern.

Still not sure why ‘some’ on here find this to be controversial. Either the Bills move downtown and the State, County, and City help build the roads/utility infrastructure…or the Bills stay in OP (where the roads already exist) and the State helps build the actual stadium. Either way, the stadium and the roads belong to the community and the Bills can’t take them with them should the team one day leave. The concrete in the stadium is just dumb concrete. It doesn’t know whether it’s poured into the formwork of a road or a stadium. Relax!

10% Tax Cut For The Middle Class
SoCal Deek replied to Thurmal34's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why do you think most people define themselves that way? Answer…because it’s the very essence of America. Stop spending my money! And, leave the adults alone to make their own decisions. In a nutshell. -
Somebody needs to call out his utter garbage.

I’m hoping that the biggest offseason move they made was to change out the OL Coach. I’m certainly no expert on line play but somehow Brady has lasted for decades in this league with countless linemen protecting his arse. I’m guessing it has less to do with the players and way more to do with the coach. Go Bills

I know you think this little meme is horrible. And I’m not saying it shows what you claim it does. But let me ask you….if you’re trying to do an impression of someone saying dumb stuff, how would you do it? You don’t think the reporter knows he has a disability? I’m sure he does. That doesn’t mean you’re mocking his disability. It means you’re mocking the dumb stuff he says. There’s a difference!

So after the unarmed perpetrator was wrongfully shot by a police officer I’m assuming, just like with Mr Floyd, THAT was then the time to unleash the riot, looting, and begin to burn down the building…right? Or wait…no…I don’t recall anything like that happening in protest of the shooting. Did I miss it? Shouldn’t we be kneeling before sporting events? Shouldn’t we have placards in our windows? Shouldn’t the organizers be buying houses in Malibu?

10% Tax Cut For The Middle Class
SoCal Deek replied to Thurmal34's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
‘You people’ crack me up! Everyone loves to take pot shots at everyone else’s tax rates so long as they aren’t in that bracket. In a nutshell….for those who missed it, or were still in junior high, Obama raised the tax rate on the uppermost wage earners on the premise that it was all for the cause during the Great Recession. The Trump tax cut brought the rate right back down again when the Recession was over. How is this difficult to understand? -
You mean the proper playbook isn’t to follow a guy dressed like a bear into the Capitol, stop to take selfies, and then leave the building? Is that the strategic coup you’re describing? I believe my class’s Senior Prank Day was more impactful….and nobody that I recall mistook it as a plot to take over the school.

Global warming err Climate change HOAX
SoCal Deek replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The alternative is the current regime’s solution…shorten the supply of fossil fuels in order to bring their price up so high they become equivalent to the inefficiency of renewables. Horribly uncreative, and yet another damaging setback to the lower and middle class. -

The technical term is concrete…not cement. Cement is the powder that when mixed with sand, aggregate, and water becomes concrete. 😉 -
Public Housing. When, why?
SoCal Deek replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
These issues are not unique. The biggest difference is that the bigger the population, the higher the density. With higher density there are challenges in design that don’t exist in lower density projects. Publicly funded and subsidized housing is no different from private housing. It comes down to money, creativity, and space. -
Why does who hate it?

Public Housing. When, why?
SoCal Deek replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Most lay people don’t know it but in many, if not all, public housing projects most of the things on your list are dictated by the contracting office. The ‘design’ architect has very little freedom. Sad really, but it’s done that way to control costs and establish standards. -
Thanks! I didn’t recall the story. Once again, Republicans are literally horrible at the game of politics. Every single Republican member of the committee should have had her picture on the Dias in front of them during the recent confirmation hearings. It would’ve made everyone in the media have to explain to the public who that lady was/is.

SoCal Deek replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Tibs: Another resident internet expert. No…I lecture all over the country on design…and yes it matters. What I said is that the scope and budget parameters of a government housing project are not established by the Architect. The architect is given a density, a budget, and all sorts of maintenance and material requirements that must be met. The architect takes those parameters and makes the project BETTER, not worse. Good design can do wonders, but it has its limits -

I’m an architect!!!! I know what the heck design is and does. -
Public Housing. When, why?
SoCal Deek replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Don’t blame the architect. I don’t decide how many units are required per acre. That’s dictated by the government/ client. Making the budgetary math work on these sort of projects is VERY difficult. In general these are not designed to be long term residential solutions. -
Yeah, yeah, yeah…but is the State budget “ironclad”?
