Ah… public housing on the waterfront… There’s the Buffalo I know and hate. I’d love to find the person who made that decision and drop him off the skyway.

I think it’s a tossup between that and the 190 for the worst Buffalo idea EVER.

EDIT:

BTW… Bass Pro isn’t dead yet.

> Commission: Bass Pro Deal in 30 Days or We Are Moving On
> 
> ```
> The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation told reporters Monday that a comprehensive plan for development along Buffalo's inner and outer harbor is in place, and if Bass Pro wants to be a part of it, they have 30 days to agree to a deal.
> 
> ```

> The commission presented the plan, which includes thousands of square feet in retail, business, and residential availability near the current site of Memorial Auditorium. It includes a museum on the inner harbor, and a maketplace similar to the one in Seattle, Washington.

> All told, Commission vice-president Larry Quinn says this development plan is twice the size of the one in Baltimore, Maryland.
> 
> “This is a ‘go’ project,” said Quinn.

> The commission is going ahead with studies to figure out whether to gut the Aud or tear it down completely.

> Meantime, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said his office will negotiate directly with Bass Pro to try to come to an agreement to put a store in the Aud, or on that site. If, after 30 days, there is no deal, the commission will begin to look for other suitors for the site.

> “Erie County has no more money for this project. It’s time to fish or cut bait,” said Erie County Executive Joel Giambra.
> 
> All parties agree that waterfront development will move forward, with or without Bass Pro.
> 
> “I’d like to see them be a part of this deal. But if they’re not, we move forward,” said Chairman Anthony Gioia.
