Couldn’t we spend 15 million on a less important museum and use the rest to improve literally everything in Journal Square, arguably the most worn-out part of town.

The museum is in J.Sq. While I do agree there are more important things to focus on this is an investment for JC. This is supposed to bring in some type of revenue. Theoretically, this should attract more people to J. Sq which would bring in money for the city. Hopefully

The people who live here in Journal Square see 30 million vanishing overseas. I’m saying if you have that much to spend why not put it into improving conditions HERE. Trickle down economics, even if it actually works (lol, it doesn’t) takes TIME. Journal Square is out of time.

I live in JSQ and I can’t wait to go to this museum.

Out of time for what exactly? Will a bomb go off at the end of the year if J. Sq if it doesn't improve conditions?

>improving conditions HERE

And I agree with you on that. So let's keep that mentally for everything. It's just crazy to me this is the mentality everyone has for a project and institution that can have a direct positive impact on JC.

I agree 30 million COULD be a boon to Journal Square but I don’t agree an exotic art contrivance is what’s lacking. There’s a whole lot of lacking though.
