Radical Transformation for The Urban Downtown Mesa - Who Wants to Turn The Center City Into Downtown Tempe?

There have now been two plans within the space of two years for two different proposals for the same site here - the latest is to plop down a 200,000 Sq Ft plan to insert an ASU campus at the center of this city.
Do we really want an education factory like ASU taking over and eating up an open urban public space here?
A small satellite campus somewhere close to the Main Street grid for light rail transit is fine - there are other city-owned vacant properties where this can go - like at Country Club/Main where there's an announcement on the intercom "Mesa Center for Higher Education" or other sites in close proximity to public transportation.

A deal with The Devil?

The question arises: Is there a clear vision for Downtown Mesa?
Is it an Arts-and-Entertainment District or your playground or what? 
Another Quick Fix with a deal that's gotta get nailed down by June 10th??
Developers are hoping to ride on the boom in construction for student housing taking place in Tempe, and it certainly will increase residential density with students

 

This vision from two years ago?

Or this?

Or None of the Above, find a different place to put it please
