A hell of a series of ifs, for benefits that remain highly speculative -- apart from those accruing to the developer. |
1) nonsense. about 400000 - 500000 people make their way to downtown LA on a weekday, 10,000 cars will not do anything on a Sunday. Believe me, i live downtown and Sundays are very quiet
2) dont really care either way about the billboards
3) It most definitely enhances the marketability. it creates contiguous space which does not currently exist
4) no problem. the rams are the most likely team
5) the value of teh franchise will basically double as soon as they move to LA so its not so out of the question. its all part of the negotiations.
