"We know if this is voted YES, soon the MAPS 3 will die and only a portion would be able to be resurrected if any at all. Because then we would have showed we cater to the whims of the few."

gmwise, this is just not true. This will only push collection of the taxes for MAPS 3 back for 15 months. There is absolutely no reason to believe that any of the plans for MAPS 3 will have to be changed. This project will be a perfect complement for what's planned in Core To Shore.

"We should focused not only on the game of basketball, but on all of the baggage associated with the culture that has now permeated the NBA The NBA calls them HOST CITIES, I can see why some call them VICTIM CITIES, Restaurants reports record numbers of dine-and-dash incidents (in the hundreds). Cabbies reports record numbers of non-paying customers (also in the hundreds). Shops reported record numbers of shop-lifting incidents (you get it by now). According to police, records of those same Cities were also set for fights/brawls and gunplay, None of this makes major headlines. Apparently, anything short of a full-scale, Viking-style rape, pillage, plunder and burn assault is seen as a moral victory. Interestingly, other NON HOST CITIES crime figures dipped over that same period of time."

That has got to be the most ridiculous bunch of drivel that I have read in some time. A good term for it would be "scaremongering". You can't really believe that, can you?
