Hardball vs. Softball

In further comment about above-ground vs. underground parking in the vicinity of the new baseball stadium, today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports about how a federal judge who illegally cut down 120 trees in an adjacent public park to improve his view, has paid $618,000 over three years to settle the dispute, in "Judge pays off debt for cutting trees." (This is also relevant to the similar Dan Snyder incident, although that was signed off by high level federal National Park Service officials interested more in making Dan Snyder happy, and less concerned about the park.)
Another frame from Funky Winkerbean (yesterday), which finds the city kid chasing the suburban kid, to communicate his displeasure at losing while playing a videogame.

Newspapers report that Mayor Williams will be stepping in the negotiations between the various stakeholders, on the parking structure issue. I'm sure it will be settled by cutting in the Lerners on the revenue generated from the space above ground, although it is possible to build attractive mixed-use above-ground parking as well.
