I want the rosy projections to be good, but I don't think SA will be spared from the economic carnage that's just beginning and when that happens you will see many contractors and financiers go belly up, which means the optimistic projections are very unlikely to actually happen in reality. GOJ should know that this has already been a done deal, like most of the business before city council and the county commissioners in any part of Texas, none of the votes actually get swayed by public comments because the votes were brokered and whipped behind the scenes months ago.

Deep down she knew she wouldn't be able to stop the project. So instead GOJ's goal was to make sure that a vocal opposition existed and showed out, so that she can build credibility with that base of organizers and voters, as well as with the fiscally conservative "vote down every bond ever no matter what" types, in the event that Project Marvel becomes infamous. An event she thinks is likely, and I can't say I blame her.

I'm glad the Spurs will stay in SA for the Wemby era, and Helo saying that most of the city is agnostic about the Spurs might be the wildest take he's ever posted on this board.

I’ve seen this posted a few places and I have no idea what these people are talking about. San Antonio loves that team.

In total I’ve lived here almost half my life, including the past 12 years in a row. So I think I know what I’m talking about. The vast majority of people here don’t give a shit about basketball or the spurs, especially with how bad they are now. Most people will say their favorite team is the spurs but they don’t go to or watch the games, or follow the team. Nowadays if I see a guy with a spurs tat or a bunch of spurs gear my first thought is he’s an orejon, not a big spurs fan. Their connection with the city is gone and the France and Austin shit sealed it. 
 

You really don't, and your posts on this forum have shown that.  I'm glad you take part here as a SA resident as you should. I mean that sincerely.  But man your takes, from culture, to food, to sports, have been pretty bad.  I don't know what you have been doing for these 12 years, but it sounds like you have done everything you can to not embrace this city.  Are you here by choice?  I'm guessing no.   It sounds like wherever you live, you stay close to home, and don't venture out much.  And if you do, it's never to try something new and unique.
