The Bowl has some flat places left to the North E of the water. I think. We would make just as much in sales tax or if they are for subsidized I think the big one on 99 will help with that. Never will there be a vacancy at the one we have with what 20 units rented until eternity. I think we can do this without disrupting and creating more environmental problems then we already have.
