That would be interesting in the context of 2009's travails with North Side United.<br /><br />Although here we're talking about who gets to capitalize on these office space parcels and at what price.<br /><br />It strikes me that if the Stadium Authority starts taking a firmer line as to the deadlines in this option agreement, that might motivate the Penguins to develop all of its new parcels from surface parking more quickly.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-14314060873025345622011-09-27T20:05:39.100-04:002011-09-27T20:05:39.100-04:00Is monk's comma a typo or an indication of dir...Is monk's comma a typo or an indication of direct address?MHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-86595800527041471802011-09-27T19:56:33.464-04:002011-09-27T19:56:33.464-04:00Truthiest Monk utterance ever.Truthiest Monk utterance ever.C.

Council opponents and SEIU forgot to mention this fact when the Rooney's built Stage AE. Whenever they would say that Rooney's bought land for less than fair market value they were basing that on the fact that fair market value is as parking. Once upon a time we worked long and hard to get rid of the sea of parking on the North Shore. Shields and Peduto were on the task force that came up with the North Shore master plan that calls for, wait for it, wait for it - an amphitheater. If we don't want parking (as the master planning process said we didn't) then we need to be prepared to subsidize development.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-3974359521463236452011-09-27T19:46:38.730-04:002011-09-27T19:46:38.730-04:00Thinking Luke, lucked out when City Council opted ...Thinking Luke, lucked out when City Council opted to take lead on all things: Parking?Monknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-20349351198166587802011-09-27T14:45:28.533-04:002011-09-27T14:45:28.533-04:00While I never trust a developer farther than I can...While I never trust a developer farther than I can throw them, Continental has a proven history of unfair dealings screwing the taxpayer and average citizen. If Mr. Stabile isn't secretly kicking puppies in his spare time, I can't imagine we'd do any worse, and might possibly do considerably better, if he develops that parcel. And frankly, I'm now indignant all over again at the ridiculous sale price the Stadium Authority has set. They are giving that land, OUR LAND, away.JenEnglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187324279024758768noreply@blogger.com
