I heave read and followed this stadium proposal, and as a property owner will be voting "NO". I think that during the "discussion", someone needs to point out to the "rental market" (who may be temped to vote "YES") that they are not out of the woods. Whoever owns the property that you are renting will be hit with a substantial tax increase if this stadium nonsense passes. Do you really think that your landlord will just agree to pay the "extra" property tax increase? Hell no. They will wait until your lease term expires or is up for renewal and then pass that "baseball stadium tax" onto you in the form of an increase in rent. WAKE UP people. The stadium is a losing proposition all the way around. Just because you rent and think that it won't affect you, think again.
