It feels like a classic example of the sunken cost fallacy… if they just keep pouring more money into the area, it’ll revitalize and legitimize the SportsQuest investment. On the other hand, if they go all out with this investment, maybe people will stop talking about their foolish SportsQuest decision. I think my biggest issue with this whole thing is the county and the developer are the only entities that benefits from this new development. We as citizens won’t see a single benefit. It’s not like they’re going to lower our taxes with the addition of the new tax revenue (which I read everyone, with the exception of the housing developers, will be getting an 80% tax break) and we’re not going to see any infrastructure improvements, just more traffic. It’s starting to feel like the NoVa transplants want to recreate what they escaped the past few years.
