You might be pleasantly surprised. It now spreads farther down the side streets and onto the P&G lawn. There are more tents and they are bigger. There are tents programmed by Jägermeister and Radeberger, and beer gardens from Sam Adams and Weihenstephan. I don't think the team had anything to do with the decision about Liberty. Cranley had already made up his mind long before FC Cincinnati was a part of the discussion.

Oktoberfest is back on Fifth Street now.

Real life is not a super hero movie where there are evil billionaires scheming to ruin the city for profit. Your entire worldview is made up in your head.

A lot of people in the West End disagree with this sentiment. Many people working in the stadium are West End residents, including a decent number of higher paid positions.

I don't think that's dumb. It could be painted any color technically. But it won't be. That bridge will always be blue.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we might be a favorite to keep it. But I'm also 100% sure we will not get another ATP 1000 event. So we better hope it stays.

The other thing about the French Quarter is that very few people actually live there. Like 3,000 total in the entire neighborhood and less than 1,000 in the part that's really loud and party central 24/7.

You still haven't answered this question @E Rocc

Please tell us which of Ohio's congressional districts you think is majority Black currently?

You've said this a million times and you've been told a million times by a million different people... This. Is. Not. True. You do not understand the VRA. Why do you keep acting like you know anything about it?

Don't tempt me with a good time.

And that's fine, but I was responding to the supposedly good faith assertion made here that they are not allowed to require a higher percentage. Let's not pretend that the reason they are not requiring 60% is anything but politics.

That is now the Republican talking point, but several independent legal analyses have said that it is perfectly fine for an amendment to place a stricter standard upon itself. So believe what you want.

My guess is we don't hear a lot about the Court of Chancery here because it is a complex, convoluted issue and most people don't even know where Delaware is. You can rest well knowing that it is a very big deal on the east coast, including among high profile Delaware Democrats and activists.

And the BA flight is carrying a lot of freight.

Yep. I was talking about Central Parkway.

The Gallagher Way development at Wrigley works with the plaza right on the busy road. Clark Street isn't as wide as Central but Central will be a lot more pleasant after it's redesign so I think it'll be fine.

There's also the Montgomery Quarter development though. And there's lots of single family zoning that can be upzoned in the future. All this stuff tends to happen incrementally because that's how you avoid getting people mad about the change.

There are also apartments and more planned. There are a lot of restaurants there now that the apartment dwellers and single family home folks can both walk to. There are plans for more businesses and apartments. I know someone who lives in one of the new urbanist style houses up there and they say they drive a lot less than they used to.

Nobody claimed they are living car-free. Outside of the basin, very few people in Cincinnati are living completely car free. But having the restaurants, park, and programming there means that people living in and around Summit Park are taking fewer trips than most people living in the Blue Ash/Montgomery area. That's the goal. It is incrementally better than sprawl and a starting point for more dense, walkable development.

Feels like you're willfully ignoring the growing business district at Summit Park and the future plans for more commercial development in close proximity.

I think local Chambers of Commerce in cities have moved away from the old establishment R paradigm.

It is 100% true that housing shortages tend to be less severe in GOP controlled states because they allow a lot more housing construction through unmitigated sprawl. But that obviously comes with its own very bad issues. The truth is that both parties are horrible on housing policy.

Luckily it is in West End CC territory and they're very supportive of market rate development.

The demand is still really high for Class A space. It's the glut of dated Class B space that is causing headaches.
