The financing issue seems to me to be largely Pawtucket wanting to wait out the current bond environment - i.e. not issue bonds at 5% interest if by summer they are back down to 3% or lower.

I think it is ok to be against the project and skeptical of its value and still not be a dick to the people that are excited about the team though. Like place the aggression where it belongs which is not against the people that want it (having been approved) to succeed.

Like I'm a dick to the fane tower believers but if it was approved I would still shit on fane and the 195 commission but I would try my best not to shit on people that liked the building and wanted to see it occupied, if that makes sense.

I appreciate your perspective. I completely understand people who aren’t happy about the way the stadium is being financed, but I’m excited to actually have my tax dollars going to something that I want and I care about, you know? I really believe in the potential of RIFC to be something that unites people and brings them together and gives us all a lot of joy, and I just want to share that with everyone
