Yea...I can't even speculate.
I doubt it is a public project, otherwise there would be no secrets.

I'm kinda getting excited.
This better not be an early April Fool's joke...
Definitely. Historically Proven. Once you have taken over enough properties through invasion or thru purchasing, it becomes yours area.........*cough*cough*chesapeake*cough*cough*. .....
They got one building, a hotel, and hopefully another tower. Seems a logical next step.
No, no, no.... let's put that one to rest. Devon is not Chesapeake. That's not what I'm talking about. Can a person or company take ownership of their neighborhood through means other than buying up every property in sight?
When is the next update, oh great one?
Oh, the agony!
Not so fast!
The property has to be for a public use (not the public purpose contemplated under Kelo, Oklahoma's Constitution has a higher standard) or the property has to be blighted.
As I've said before, I don't know of much blighted property downtown.
I doubt eminent domain is an option here whatever this is.
Has to include some sort of of downtown mass transit.
Devon is buying Union Station and making it an intermodal hub for natural gas powered commuter rail and streetcars...
Public transit......seems like that's a geogrpahically spread-out item, and this annoucenment is focused on downtown...
Geez, some of you go right for the conspiracy stuff ... no, no, no eminent domain here, no buying up properties like Chesapeake. I'm asking for some deeper discussion here. Think of it this way - How could you take ownership in your own neighborhood without buying up houses and lots?
Set an example.
run for office or as an adviser on a board or something. without power to do it through businnes or property owned, the other option would be thru position of importance. say a leading architect downtown takes over some board downtown to help guide the changes coming our way. that would be a way to take over the neighborhood without buying anything.
You could pay off all debts your neighbors owe...
I'm asking you folks this question ... I'm being the reporter. I'm interested in hearing discussions that go beyond simple real estate transactions.
