The garage is 13 floors. From what I am hearing the tower is still going to happen. I hope they pull it off, a 40 floor 452 ft tower apart from the main clump of towers will really enhance our skyline.
i live downtown and LOVE the Hy-Vee!If you don't live DT, you don't have the right to hate on the Hy-vee for all I'm concerned.

and that is without considering a potential non-free market Prez being elected in 2020. (plz don't make this political with any responses. . This is about the realities about what make the markets and financiers nervous).
Lol of course you would make a massively political statement and then demand others 'not make this political'.
It is clearly an economic evaluation...unless you really believe those willing to finance projects like this are in favor of the economic policies put forth by some of the candidates.
Lol ok deace. Drop in a line like "non free market prez" and then claim you're not being political.
Please explain how it is not "economic" over political? Don't political candidates bring an economic philosophy to their candidacy?
Here's a look at the latest renderings:

That's....what she...said...........?Getting the thread back on topic...
If they trim the shrubbery around the base it would look even bigger
Literally no candidate is against free markets, no matter how much you rwnjs scream "SOCIALISM!". Some just support the kind of free and fair markets that had the United States at its most successful and are against the kind of unregulated markets that have lead us into a second gilded age

You made it political as soon as you lied about this administration being "free market."It is clearly an economic evaluation...unless you really believe those willing to finance projects like this are in favor of the economic policies put forth by some of the candidates.
Your problem is your looking at it from a macro level. Financial players are less likely to lend for stuff right now because they don’t like some of the Democrats as much."fair markets". I rest my case. Who decides what is fair...and the fact that someone is "deciding" blows up the concept of free market capitalism.
I"m not saying you have to be in favor of free markets...just please recognize what it is....and what it isn't.
Not going to go into much more than this, but this is non-controversial. Bernie Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist. He is not even a Democrat . He only uses the party as a platform to be relevant nationally. (The same way Ron Paul used the "R" on the other side.) He is, and has been, listed as registered as an "Independent" for decades. My strong "D" supporting neighbor & activist (who was in the Maine legislature for several yrs before moving to Iowa) puts it best. "I can't support Sanders - he isn't even a member of my party."
