Yes, excellent pickup on StLouie.

In fact, McD could lease the arch, then after a few years say they need a second arch and if the city doesn't come up with the money to build one threaten to move the franchise to Nashville, or somewhere. The City Fathers will go berserk at the thought of losing the franchise and ram through a $600,000,000 bond paid for by increases in property owners taxes, cigarette and liquor taxes and cutting art and music from the local schools.

Five years later McD will move anyway, when Nashville offers to build them arches twice as high, at city expense.
