San Antonio council votes 9-2 in favor of $160 million baseball stadium project
City Council voted 9-2 Tuesday to move ahead with a $160 million minor-league baseball stadium development — even though it will mean the demolition of the Soap Factory Apartments, one of downtown's few affordable rental options. Concern over the demolition delayed plans to decide on the project last Thursday. Council pushed back its vote after tenants and some on the dais raised concerns about the displacement of people who work service industry jobs and in some cases are migrants or formerly homeless.
