I'm not sure what Chapman's opposition is, they only quoted Gazolla. It really concerns me when I start to agree with Gazolla, but nonetheless here we are. And I mean, it's not entirely that I agree, for one, he says "it's not the city's job"...sure it is, the city's job is whatever the city decides to do within it's legal mandate, this clearly qualifies. He doesn't want it to be the city job and he is entitled to that opinion, but he does not speak for everyone.
But in terms of funding, I'm still angry about the refusal to clear sidewalks, so the fact they'll just up and spend this money, well, again, it bothers me.
I also don't much like the project, that building is surrounded by a sea of parking, if UW really wanted to build it, they could probably sell off all the surrounding parking and fund the entire project with no help from any government. UW is addicted to parking and in my opinion, they can keep their addition out of my downtown.
