"...when you get there, there isn't any there there."
Remember the phrase, "Urban Renewal?" It was a movement in the 1950s and '60's, which masqueraded as progress, when, in fact, it lead to the destruction of whole neighborhoods. Block after block of buildings were plowed under, in order to build highways, civic centers, and in some cases, vertical ghettos. The mindset was, "If it's old, knock it down, and build anew. Newer is better!" This movement culminated in the destruction of one of America's treasures, Pennsylvania Station, in New York City. The impact of the destruction of Penn Station was immediate, and stays with us, today.
So, when one talks of building a stadium, one must ask, what is it going to replace? What is standing on that ground, at this moment? We have heard some speak of the impact of this proposed stadium on the neighborhood, so it is fair to ask, what does this neighborhood look like? Who are our neighbors? Let's see if we can find them.

As you can see, we have train yards, and truck yards, and parking lots. And an unused waterfront.
Lots of train tracks, but, where are the people in this neighborhood?
Nice view. No one home.
But, perhaps we are missing the people, the blood and soul of the neighborhood, with these views from high above. Let's go down to street level and take a look at our neighbors.
Garbage trucks...
Buses...
Empty Lots...
And trains. Lots and lots of trains.
But, where are the people, the "neighbors" that make up this neighborhood?
Here's someone! He's guarding the trains. He is a good neighbor.
I think Gertrude Stein, speaking of a different neighborhood, on a different coast, said it best.
"...when you get there, there isn't any there there."
