Fascinating coincidence that every development you mention with the exception of the casino is on the proposed streetcar line. I guess that's all random.Quote:

The downtown and OTR portions of the route have been set for years. The uptown extension was recently decided.Quote:

You're already right. Now move along.
The are revisionts. Read the article from 2007. It shows their motives clearly.Quote:

Don't you think some opponent of the streetcar would have come out with this evidence by now? If its so obvious in 2007 that they moved for reasons other than the streetcar and that this most current letter is a farce, don't you think Luken or COAST or Smitherman would have dug it up to belittle the project? Or channels 5/9/12/19? Or Cincinnati.com?
That's a pretty bold leap
The streetcar feasability study published two months before Rookwood won the OTR grant has the proposed route, and only one proposed route, recommended for the CBD/OTR segment of the streetcar.Quote:

Read the artice from 2007, their motives are clear.Quote:

Wow. You have issues. Not one business has relocated due to the streetcar and not one development downtown or in OTR took place recently due to the streetcar. What color is the sky in your world?Quote:
