@benfulton @bloomington_in I am puzzled by this, but also kinda cynical. Are there vendors within the convention center who don't want to compete with the surrounding town?

What's the problem with conventioneers "interact[ing] with and patroniz[ing] downtown businesses"? I though that was the main reason for cities to get convention centers.

The only thing that can explain this is in-house protectionism.

@markstos @bloomington_in The "money saved" number is much bigger if one can do without car ownership. By living where a car was unnecessary, we could live w/o a car and saved thousands of $$ per year.
