Las Vegas

I am dumb and do not know any better. 

So I am asking for your help here. 

That picture is of a $2.5 billion proposed project. 

"Uh...Max, that is Dallas."

Well, no shit, Sherlock.

"Why are you talking about Dallas then?"

Well, the group behind this project is De La Vega Development.

The president of that group is Artemio De La Vega. 

My question to you all is - Is that Paul Foster's brother-in-law?

Personally, I think the project is cool, IF they can get high-rises off the drawing board.

Only thing I would bitch about is the low-rise apartments. 

I get it...."It pencils."

But the stick and stucco shit is ugly.

On a related-note, y'all be bitchin' about how Paul Foster sucks the wealth from your community. 

I hate to break  it to you, you guys just do not have that much wealth to leach off of. 

Assuming De La Vega and Paul Foster are connected, I would figure De La Vega would send Jordan-Foster some love.

And then tell me when was the last time El Paso had a billion dollar construction project on the table.

Here is the history. Yes he is Paul Foster's brother in law. Artemia de la Vega built the Las Palmas Marketplace in east El Paso many years ago. Artemio no longer owns Las Palmas Market Place. He sold it to a venture capital company 6 or 8 years ago and it has since been sold again. He actually spoke against the Paul Foster/Alejandra dela Vega-Foster Fountains Shopping Center a few years ago at City Council as did Simon Malls.

Artemio moved away from El Paso about 10-12 years ago to Dallas.

I agree the stucco looks dumb.

[No Corp Welfare]

Voter is right. Timmy did not get any corp welfare for Las Palmas and bitched about why his brother in law did get it. If it was payback for the med school then so be it, but it really hurt the strip mall on Viscount which is owned by Mexican Nationals. They took Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, and one other renter to the Fountains. Was that fair ? No. Only good thing about Artemio was his wife and I think they are now divorced. She was a very good person. Timmy not so much.
