From Trump on the Ocean: An Analysis on the Political Gentleman
My most pressing concern is that of the special deal that Trump and Carl have received to build this complex. As I have mentioned before the State seems tied to the success or failure of Trump on the Ocean which should have never occurred. However I personally believe that something ultimately cataclysmic would have to occur for Trump on the Ocean to fail. Being located on Jones Beach, Trump on the Ocean is at a prime location to attract the affluent East Enders from the Hamptons as well as the multitude of Park Avenue patrons from New York City. I believe that a sufficient compromise has been made between the State and Trump that would allow median income families to dine at the restaurant and still have a prized view of the Atlantic Ocean. Hence Trump on the Ocean would not just be catering to the rich upper class. However, I do believe New York State should have gotten a little greedier on the revenue it will take from Trump on the Ocean. This prime real estate should not have come at bargain price because only one bid was placed on it. I think that New York State should have worked out a similar deal that it has with other properties on parks.
