Opinion: Moses Rose’s Hideout owner Vince Cantu is the last holdout preventing the planned Alamo Museum and Visitor Center from proceeding.
Wreaths honoring and memorializing the defenders of the Alamo are placed in front of the historic site during the Dawn at the Alamo ceremony held in March.Let’s not make this a drinking game, but how many bars can you name within walking distance of Alamo Plaza? I stopped when I passed the number 50. There is something for every thirsty soul in the walkable, tourist-centric San Antonio downtown: quiet to loud, classy to tacky, elegant to casual to downright dives.
City Council on Thursday gave City Attorney Andy Segovia the authority to initiate eminent domain proceedings, allowing the city to obtain title to Cantu’s property for a market rate price. A July 2021 email from Cantu’s lawyer, Dan Eldredge, states that his client’s asking price is $17 million. Cantu later responded to a subsequent Alamo Trust email in April 2022 confirming that his attorney’s stated price remained his nonnegotiable selling price.
While I favor closure of the bar, I oppose the city’s plans to exercise its eminent domain rights at this juncture. Just because it’s legal doesn’t necessarily make this tool of last resort the right move right now. Anyone who has ever owned private property with an eye toward an eventual sale knows the current assessed rate, or even market rate, does not include anticipated increases in value.
