[quote=FlyerInHi]If the owners say no to a move, then can’t the city also say no to a stadium?[/quote]
They could, but as you point out, the local politicians clearly lack the cajones to go that route.
[quote=FlyerInHi]I am actually for squeezing NYC type density into the mission valley parcel to make the project pay for itself and more.[/quote]
If the project would actually pay for itself, and make the city a profit, then developers would pay for the stadium themselves and keep the profits. But of course talk of how a stadium with development pays for itself is just BS. It completely ignores the costs that come with new neighborhoods, and developments.
