One could even venture that the whole thing will function as a de facto use of public funds to clean out a large swath of Anacostia with taxpayer money in order to prime it for new development and gentrification. Naturally, that means the Stadium wil have the effect of making the city richer and whiter. But of course with baseball, such a process is made easier because certain bowtie wearing ex-mayors can in effect say "It's not that we're using taxpayer funds to clear out Anacostia and make way for rich people, it's that we're bringing you a baseball team." I personally was against building the new stadium, but now it's happening, and the only thing to do is to continue pushing for the team to be as inclusive as possible.chbarreviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535631190269983676noreply@blogger.com
