The city didn't own the land that Hemesphire was built on. Money had been put into that area enough already. Expansion of the Convention Center is fine. Tweak the little free land there is left and leave it as a parkish area.

Now take all the funds and buy up the lots and wasteland sw of downtown and start creating something useful there.
