• Disney announces major expansion plans for Disneyland

    From Patty Winter@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 26 06:07:40 2021
    All still very tentative, but current sentiments in Anaheim could
    be favorable, given that the city is reeling from the loss of revenues
    for the past year. Disney isn't acquiring any new land, just angling
    for rezoning so they can combine entertainment and hotels in the same footprint. IOW, mixed-use, which is the "in" thing in zoning these days.

    I think a lot of cities will be scrambling to change zoning requirements
    and loosen regulations so that existing businesses will expand and new
    ones will come.

    I feel certain that most city leaders realize what is quickly coming
    from an economic standpoint. Many companies that transitioned to WFH
    because of COVID discovered that it works and will continue it even
    after they are allowed to reopen. This will result in a glut of
    commercial office property which translates into huge tax losses for
    cities. Many commercial real estate companies will bankrupt, and that's
    more of a loss. And factor in that about 1/3 of all small business were permanently shuttered due to our reaction to COVID and you are going to
    see a lot of municipal bankruptcies. Anytime a large company like DIS
    wants to invest, the cities should jump on it.
