so its ok for the lakers to move back to inglewood and help progress gentrification because their land would be where the forum sits? you are contradicting your whole stance strictly because if any team moves back to inglewood, it still drives poor people out. it doesnt matter if theres a "technology park" across the street or not. hypothetically, lets say the lakers are moving back to inglewood (the forum) who do you think will bankroll the project? the tax payers of the city of inglewood. in addition, the same gentrification issues that you complain about with this clippers deal, would still exist.
If the Lakers or even the clippers moved back to the forum it wouldn't interfere with the land across the street being used for affordable housing. I don't understand why you're not getting that. I'm specifically talking about the misappropriation and fraud used to acquire the land. And why would taxpayers have to pay for a team to move into an already existing arena?
if dolan agreed to sell the land back to the city of inglewood, he wouldnt be pitching the buss family on coming back to inglewood. (dont get this statement twisted as me saying what the lakers plan on doing. i dont know and i dont care)
Dolan did agree to sell the land back to the city. What does that have to do with him pitching the Lakers on coming back to the forum? You're talking about two different pieces of land bruh. Dolan is claiming that he was duped into selling the land and the superior court ruled that there was a 'conscious intent to deceive' which is why the mayor is personally liable for fraud which is extremely rare for a public official to be held personally liable
i am not silly enough to think that any of that land (the land that MSG owns or the forum itself) will ever be used to benefit the poor people of inglewood. if its not the clippers, its the lakers...and if its not the lakers it will be a whole foods, jamba juice, starbucks, or any other hipster magnets across from that new rams stadium (somehow, someway you will make that statement about the lakers just because i mentioned them in the sentence)
Bruh.. what in the world are you talking about. Don't know how many times I have to say that the land is required by law to be used for affordable housing. So if the city ends up losing the lawsuit the law would then be properly enforced. That's the whole point, that the mayor and Ballmer are trying to skirt the law in order to get the arena built as quickly as possible
The only leg you even have to stand on is trying to act like I would be cool with it if it were the Lakers instead when I keep saying no tf I wouldn't. And the only reason you're trying to say that is because you're trying to defend the clippers for doing it. I'm not you bruh. So yea let's just end it there
