Today was not 1964 along a partially built highway with nothing but a Lockheed bombing range, cattle ranches, orange groves, and fertilizer farms (which wdw was)…
Where do you think the District was going to facilitate all those critical tasks they wanted to address like affordable housing, services for workers, etc? And the absurd comments from the Gov about prisons was not haphazard. All of this was said knowing the District doesn't have the developable land to do any of this.
Comments like this one from DeSantis today. Similar comments I feel have been made in the past.
That’s already the worst part of the plan. Not because I oppose affordable housing…because I don’t want Florida’s problems being planted behind a hedgewall next to Coronado springs
I’m not sure what you mean. The posturing was real but the teeth were not.
Disney always has and still does have the moral high ground in this instance, at least for anyone who doesn't approve of dictatorships and blatantly ignoring whole chunks of the Federal and Florida constitutions.
No one ever claimed they were immune from bad movies, overpricing everything and nickel and diming people to death. What they are insulated from is boycotts from small, fringe groups which is what the number of people following this fight closely who are willing to boycott would be. If that group really made that much of a difference we would see a major decline across all parks, not just a minor one at WDW.
So I think you answered your own question then... When you say "What did he say that makes you think" -- Their statements and posturing.
That doesn’t say anything about taking Disney’s land and developing it. How are they going to take Disney’s land and why?
Very legitimate concern…his particular ilk don’t observe guardrails in public by keeping the goals and discussion that should be private…well…private
Agreed. While I don't think Desantis and Disney will ever be on great terms, the end of his presidential campaign kind of took away the main driver behind his war with Disney in the first place.
The cafeteria would be considered cruel and unusual punishment…but then again I think be our guest is too
That would be best…but I think we opened the Pandora’s box of wingnuts and it could get worse
And Disney just gave them their teeth back. Why would they not continue to pursue any of that? They can now make Beyond Big Thunder contingent on providing land for district projects.
Yep. Sad but not really all that surprising these days.
But to what end? He’s a lame duck with no clear path forward as of now…and last year went very disastrously for him. It’s hard to see what he specifically can glean from this?
The whole “constitution” thing is like a shiny object here. There are many issues with “constitutionality” in this and damn near every court proceeding.
I don’t think we’ve hit the low point yet…if you want to be really depressed?
I suppose anything is possible. But given the tenor of the governor’s remarks I don’t see any benefit to them in doing it.
I think the personal and professional lives of the CFTOD folks being rattled affected this long term, as did the imminent prospect of them being deposed.
