The area south of palladium drive is an easy residential high density rezoning. The adjacent land is already zoned that way. The area north of palladium would likely be an extension to the existing business park.
Im not worried at all. If you think Melnyk was okay, all the power to you, but I'd take just about anyone over him. This franchise is headed for big things under new, respectable ownership.
So no one was trashing the previous owners, an no one will bash the next owners…… you’re dreaming.
Some folks seem disappointed there's going to be a new owner before long. It's kind of like a Grinch who stole Christmas story.
That's all well and good and we all have our motivations some do and some don't relate to. I just want an owner that isn't going to make the team operate with a peg leg from their own issues. He's gone and it's been nothing but good things for the franchise since then, so on to better days!
If you think the previous ownership was a normal standard it explains alot.
Depends on what your definition of “normal standard” ownership, is.
do a search. the city web site has much of the info. the housing increase has been a spill over from insane increases in other areas. A neighbour of my partner isn \cvornwall, just bough here as he moved from toronto... this is a fake bubble. it will burst.
I mean I do this for a living. Ottawa is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. People are moving here in droves due to affordability and quality of life specifically from the GTA. Canada is also a hub for immigration. The country is growing and Ottawa is the second fastest city right now. Vacancy is 3.5%.... I think you need to do some more research.
Never said normal ownership is the three wealthiest teams in the league. The commitment to this shtick of yours that Melnyk was good or even normal/average ownership is insane given the countless examples that it wasn't.
Point is that no one has outlined what “normal” ownership for the Ottawa market is…. And what is normal in Ottawa, is not what it would be in pretty much any other market…. The uniqueness of the Ottawa market, where the largest, by far, employer, is the Federal Government and the obvious inability to invest or work with the Senators in any beneficial way.
No on needs to outline it. Its common knowledge that if you dont meddle in hockey ops, cheap out and treat people like trash that's normal. You seem to think that type of ownership and behavior is normal.
The other point is that owners are looking at this kind of investment like a stock. They buy it at a certain price, and then sell it at a much larger price many years later. That is where the money is made like a buy & hold stock market strategy. Year to year fluctuations are a small, minor concern for an deep pocket owner that has the right profile. That wasn't Melnyk.
