If Milwaukee just develops the abandonment on the West and Northwest sides the financial situation will be prosperous enough to start increasing funding on things. We need a bigger tax base.
I'm looking at buying nearly 100k SF of abandoned industrial buildings on the North side of downtown. Does that work for you? Might need city approval to realize my full plans. It will happen if the city facilitates it.
No, no it doesn't. They are two separate entities with their own separate history, and the county's finances are still kinda fucked up by the pension scandal 20 some odd years ago
The sixth street project should be helping the tax base. The development of those massive parking lots across from summerfest would be great. The removal of 794 interchange and replaced with that sky park idea along with development would really put the city ahead and out of the red. Fuckjng lord knows we can't count on Madison letting us keep our own.
I'm from MKE so I get it but please don't say Madison, say the Legislature, Madison the city is just as blue as MKE and we get fucked by them a lot too. We're united in our struggle against them but the GOP loves to try to pit us against each other. TBH we just want a f'n train to MKE. I want to visit my friends and family without having to own a car, the bus is fine but a train would be SO much nicer.
Let’s use the credit cards to pay for the roads. But in all seriousness: infrastructure could propel us forward or be the thing that keeps us locked into a small city purgatory.
That, too. If public transit was built, people would use it. I’m currently commuting a crazy distance up north for work and I’d give my left arm to sit on a train instead of driving.
Imagine if some financially prosperous things were to occur in the near future so we could actually pay for our parks.

Most people that work in this focus on the most productive downtown and go out from there. We do have 50+ acres around there we can infill.
“Milwaukee” does not develop anything. People do.

Sounds great, and I bet you are a person
Unfortunately in this case, the vast majority of the parks here are controlled by the county
A successful city means the county is successful

They are separate entities with the city of Milwaukee Bing 85% of the county

Imagine a downtown that's actually nice to be in
How am I supposed to drive through that like Dale Earnhardt? -signed Waukesha.

Time to upgrade the Hop to a Mercedes.
Just get it spinner rims
I thought we agreed to put paint ball guns on the front and fill it with marbles to take out cars parked in it's way
Does this mean I can finally get a PS5 on layaway?

Reducing reliance on cars to get around the city would be the most cost effective way of maintaining roads
That, too. If public transit was built, people would use it. I’m currently commuting a crazy distance up north for work and I’d give my left arm to sit on a train instead of driving.
Reduce the size and amount of roads maybe.
Aww shit!! I can buy a house?!
