Jacksonville residents say they want to see affordable housing, jobs as part of stadium agreement

Jacksonville residents said they want to see affordable housing, jobs, solutions for the unhoused, and more after the city and the Jags agreed to invest $150 million each into community redevelopment.

How many times is the city going to throw money into the stadium??? Affordable housing, stop out of state or country investors buying up Florida properties!!!

meanwhile jacksonville is closing down schools it cannot afford to keep open.

[@andrebailey6676]

You guys do realize that it's going to happen no matter what

[@andrebailey6676]

And it still works out for everybody everybody's getting something out of the deal

[@chi_0647]

Let's get this deal done!!

[@teeebeee3946]

Ya it was the same thing 25 years ago. It was called the better Jacksonville program. Tax money tax money tax money.

[@terrim5442]

Public Private Partnerships steals from the taxpayers…..

[@therealaustinpowers1967]

Throwing money at a problem is great an all, but it's just an empty gesture if there is no positive change to come out of it.

[@Graphics_Card]

You are right. Businesses benefiting from this deal wouldn’t be considered a positive change to come out of the deal…

[@cruelladevil1001]

Wow, they're not going to get it in this dumpster fire of an economy

[@user-uw1cn9dt6y]

the only dumpster fire is you.

the "stadium of the future" looks like a hospital chamber pot.
