A bit off topic, but we’re rebuilding all our schools, and no kids are in them. Meanwhile, EPISD was not prepared to teach via e-learning.
Every single school is being re-built??? Anyway, it’s not like the kids are NEVER going back. Could be in 4 months, could be in 14, but they’ll be back.
If we can't have the arena, the maybe some of these ideas.
City should offer to subsidize Butterfield for the airport until they recover. Too nice of a course to just let it close. Cost 1 million per year to run.
We should have a dann nice kids/scirnce museum.
The downtown overpasses need to be rebuilt.
Continue revitalizing downtown into a place where people can really hang out and shop/eat/etc...
Not all, but lots of building, including a new downtown HQ. My issue is there is no standard for e-learning. Teachers do it on different platforms and some don’t do it at all.
Well yeah, but let’s not act like they knew this was coming and failed to adapt/implement. Sucks that the buildings are not being used and it will be a cluster**** once school begins for the 2020/21 year.
They knew e-learning was a thing.
Not for 4-10 year olds, full-time, without any preparation to go full-time.
They will now.
The money should be used for small businesses and lower property taxes
That's not what it was voted for. Money goes to a Arena Downtown. Build that Arena NOW

Build it.....even if you have to scale it down. Putting up a fake Mexican Village attraction two blocks from the real thing would be the dumbest thing this city could ever do. People need attractions/reasons to visit downtown they wont be flocking to see the Poncho Villa pee house, Trost designed homeless shelter, or the Chinese Taco hut. Or better yet take the bond money build a 20 foot wall around the area and forget about it.
Durangito needs to come down anyways, lets start with that first
I think they should just put it up for a re-vote — let the people decide with full understanding of the total cost, that it will be used also for sports, and that it will replace Duranguito.
I think that dude from Houston should.go live in Durangito.Now that the economy has ground to a halt, and the city has a big budget crunch, what say you?

I wish I had a bulldozer. I would just push through the fences and level the three buildings they are fighting over.
".... Those buildings were already in poor condition and now they’ve been deteriorating and unattended for the last couple of years. Even if this arena isn’t built maybe a majority of those buildings will be condemned and the city can just bulldoze the lot and sell it so some developer.
I’m not sure what the charge would be for something like that, but I guarantee you wouldn’t do it, even if you had a bulldozer.
You don't know me and have never met me but you can guarantee something. Ok buddy.
Here, Grossman bases his argument on economics, not on the historical value of Duranguito:

Do you agree with his economic assessment of the arena?
So what you’re saying is that you’re an idiot who would destroy someone else’s property with a bulldozer? Ok buddy.
