Build it Downtown contemplating putting it on the ballot

Another Kickass logo design by Detroit

I caught wind of this a week ago when I enjoyed some tasty Euro beers at Monks (happy hour, $3.50 for a pint of ESB from Germany 🙂 with Steve and Sy. Steve suggested putting it on the ballot and I agreed. While I don’t think we need an events center NOW, I do think if the majority of voters support it, it needs to be downtown;

“We know for a fact that economic development will be spurred in the downtown area if the events center is here, but if it’s at the arena, we won’t see any development at all.  We haven’t for 50 years,” Hildebrand said.

There is one thing working against them though, most people (voters) in SF are not progressive or visionary. Putting it DT would be both of those things and that scares the hell out of residents.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
