@goldfish, No, you're confused about what I'm asking you. I'm not asking you to prove anything. I'm trying to determine how much you value things. The argument here is that you think it is worth spending more money to put the streetcar facility somewhere else, and others think it isn't. So I'm just trying to determine the magnitude of that difference. How much is B worth to you over A? It's an opinion, so obviously no proof is needed.

As for the business loss, you also proposed the taxi business and car rental business, so it wasn't just the gas station. I'm not sure Joe Mamo owns that land, but I am sure that once you go to eminent domain, you have an unwilling seller. It's called a taking for a reason. The reason they're unwilling to sell, or why they bought the land in the first place is irrelevant. And if you have no concern for the business owner, how about the people that work there. I'd also be angry if I lost my job to preserve a lawn.
