[quote=briansd1]Why would the city of Carlsbad care about potential real estate values which may or may not drop.
[/quote]Because they are elected representatives of the people who live in Carlsbad and care about their quality of life and the real estate values? Not discussing the direction of the impact here, just the fact that the elected bodies are supposed to take the will of people into consideration.
November 2, 2009 at 7:33 PM #476714Trojan4LifeParticipantBriansd1 hit the nail on the head, sales tax revenue is the ONLY safe bet right now, so if any city planning commission declines the opportunity to bring in a proven tax revenue machine like a Walmart or Walmart with Groceries (formerly Supercenter), or Walmart Neighborhood Market, they are doing so at their own peril. I’d go for the revenue source most likely to return predictable yield, not the one that is currently in a state of deflation. But hey, you’ve got that winner of a theme park called Lego Land, that’ll keep you warm at night.

If you don’t like Walmart you might want to oppose the next opening of an Apple Store near you, then throw your iPhone in the bay.
