  1. This is great. We need people. Another path is to encourage couples / women to have babies. A baby boom would do wonders for our economy.

    We also need to make it more fun to live here. Particularly for those who are 18 to 22. One small step is to allow them into bars. Not raise the drinking age, but allow them to enter. This small change would open up tons of entertainment options for that age group at a point in their lives where many decide where to live.

  2. I made a trip to see the circle Christmas Night. I must say any money spent to bring people to Indy will be going down a rat hole. Under the present administration in the city / county building , this city is a sewer. You can’t even take your family to see the lights because of all the trash, and homeless on the circle. You can’t go to the Eastside after dark. We need a political change in this city, before throwing it’s money away. It’s too bad Ballard still isn’t Mayor.

  3. Indy proper will have to buck the current prevailing political orthodoxy to really make this click and focus on quality of life issues that prioritize the middle to upper class people leaders say they want, even if that means going against the current trend of bowing to the lowest common denominator. Put the people who disproportionately contribute the most in taxes and spending first and make that clear, rather than claim they are the problem with society and the reason the least successful people are failing to move upwards.
