Downtown Reno

Hi! My name's Mike, and I track all of the downtown Reno redevelopment projects and happenings, and some select projects outside the downtown Reno area. I currently reside in the 'Downtown Reno Regional Center' District, and love it. Living in the historic area, I take an active interest in all the projects either happening or scheduled to happen soon. I maintain this site purely out of my love for urban living, and a combination of community pride, service and spirit. Whether you're a resident or tourist, explore my neighborhood, and discover downtown Reno.

If it comes down to it and ends up on the ballot next November, would you approve raising the property tax limit to pay for ( could be 3.3 cents per $100 of assessed property value) the streetcar system downtown?
Yes, I would support a property tax increase for a streetcar system downtown. It would be beneficial for both the University and our tourism district
I would not support a property tax increase that serves such a small area. Instead, let's do the possible 9.2-cents per $100 of assessed property value and build a light rail that would serve entire Virginia Street corridor
I would not support it, because I don't think a streetcar / lightrail system is necessary
I would love to see the streetcar system built, just not with property tax money
I don't know enough about the project yet to say yes or no. Convince me why I should support it.
