Barrett wants it on Wisconsin Ave. so then he doesn't have to pay for the utilities relo for his light rail plan which he just lost a ruling on. He wants to go east on new entertainment development, not north.

And where on Wisconsin Avenue will it fit? Seriously, where will it go? Utilitity relocation could be a nightmare anywhere on Wisconsin Avenue and just purchasing property and construction costs could push this project well over $600 million if that was the location and that doesn't even take into account parking options.

The north location is easily the cheapest and most logical spot, but as we all know in politics, cheapest and most logical can be thrown out the window.
