san Francisco basicly half-assed it`s effort to lure the museum there and the nimby's were complaining the whole time. Chicago very aggressively fought to get the museum made there. but since no ground has been dug that means L.A. might get a chance now. George is very well known to be very repulsed by  nimby`s     so other cities may have a chance.

I checked and their is quite a shortage of low income housing in that area,meaning the residence will be hardpress to stop such development since pretty much all labor literally travel over two counties to get there so housing for them will be hard to ignored.
