Bottom line appears to be that the folks presently in control of going forward or taking a step back are only listening to folks who already think exactly the same way the decision makers think.
While that strength of conviction can at times be a good thing, believing only one's own hype, and being constantly encouraged to do so by a bunch of self interested yes men, can create a blindness to the reality which surrounds the decision makers.
It's sad that such folks don't live more like Wayne. It's one thing to hang out in a bubble a bit here, a bit there, just for fun. It's another thing to crawl in and let folks paint it an opaque rose color so you can't see what is really going on around you.
Not my city, but it seems that if folks see how bad a CC at that location is, and how unnecessary a fancy cc appears to be in general, it ought to be time to already be seeking to change out the decision makers on the horseshoe so things can be evaluated anew.
