You don't pay a backup 4M per year. 6 minutes ago, That Aud Smell said: Glad to hear they’re bringing back “Rick” Bates — I credit him for helping solidify the o-line in the latter part of the season. Beane played this masterfully, using the Bears to set a reasonable market for Bates, then pulling the rug out from under Chicago. 1
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 @nfreeman I’m sure NY has some sort of development authority to issue bonds for a project like this. We won’t know the terms until we see the bond indentures.
spndnchz Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 It really depends what type of bonds they’re gonna be issued whether general or obligation or guaranteed.

If this was Los Angeles, then maybe the owner shells out $5B from his own pocket because he'll make it all back in a couple of years. Not here though. There is no financial incentive to operate any pro franchise in WNY without a public subsidy. 2

So no you don't make 5 billion back in a couple years

We did have to go over asking though and wave the inspection too; got very lucky though first one we put an offer in on actually. Hopefully you guys find some similar luck 🍻 1
MattPie Posted March 29, 2022 Report Posted March 29, 2022 It's nuts in Ithaca too. Anything you see asking, expect ~100k over for the winning offer. We were looking at land and even that had multiple offers within a day of going on the market. 1

Marvin Posted March 29, 2022 Report Posted March 29, 2022 I live in Amherst near the Buffalo border. I have the cheapest house in the neighbourhood (least square footage, not brick, no updates since before 2000). Houses here for $100k.

My point is in markets like Los Angeles, people are willing to spend their own money in a facility. WNY not so much.

We are definitely thinking of building. Found a patch of land that's been listed for a long time in the middle of nowhere that happens to be perfect for both of our commutes, might buy that now and sit in an apartment for a while to see if prices will ever go down
