This isn't an opportunity or an investment. This is opportunism, trying to screw and appropriate maximum profit out of the affective value accumulated by the surroundings over the years, no matter what the detrimental effect to everyone else. A real investment opportunity would be something like the development of an underground system for Manchester and the surrounding towns, rather than the dinky semi-serious tram they now rave about. Or money to rehabilitate the less fashionable sections of the centre, where behind the one busy street there tend to be several derelict streets. Or more value-added businesses moving back to the city and its surroundings. Two ugly, concrete monstrosities that destroy the little that's left of the cityscape is not the kind of opportunity and investment anyone can possibly welcome, apart from the developers.
