RE: Negative Nancies
I would remind you, Dylan, that I'm not saying the ICA is doing anything with public money. In fact I've repeatedly emphasized the opposite. Nor am I making the values comparison you find so odious. My point is that THERE'S A NATIONWIDE ECONOMIC CRISIS currently in progress, so it strikes me as odd that the ICA has such rosy projections for increased revenues. I'm referring specifically to the state's economic woes because they're very serious (you can honestly say that people will likely die as a result of these cuts) and in part driven by declining sales tax revenues--evidence that statewide, people are not buying as much as they used to of anything. HOWEVER! in fairness, it is possible that people will devote their middle class tax cuts to the stadium.

RE: Qwest is already mixed use...
You make a good point. However, they're going to have to make it work somehow, because that's where the Huskies are to play when Husky Stadium is being renovated. So it can't be impossible. And again, all of this speculation might be improbable--it's just that I haven't seen anyone demonstrate that.

RE: Negative Nancies
This has to be my all-time favorite comment! At a time when the governor is considering ending Basic Health in the state because of catastrophic budget deficits, HFNY keeps their eye on the ball: you can take your boat to Husky Stadium. For what it's worth, I have no problem with the renovation as such. My concern is whether the ICA can actually afford to do it. The Husky faithful seem very sure they can, which is fine. But then I don't think anyone has actually seen what this is going to cost them yet. So we'll see. Everything could go swimmingly.

RE: Overlooking the facts
"Overlooking"--or did I actually spell that out in the post? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what this line says in the English language: "I appreciate the fact that the UW department of Intercollegiate Athletics is responsible for the funding, and that they'll do this by issuing 30-year bonds backed by revenues from donations ($50 million) and increased income (naming rights, premium seating, soaking the Tyee Club)." I can't say that it does or doesn't impact academic funding--that argument was made by the UW's athletic director, who might better know. My point is simply that $250 million from private pockets is $250 million less in the overall UW donor pool. Are the majority of UW donors inclined to give only to support football? That may well be. But then let's not pretend that a football program adds much to the university's academic donor base.

RE: Do you not understand the logistics?
Since you ask, can you point out the other 1-mi. 47,000-vehicle capacity projects that we're spending $1 billion on? Then, if a "mere" (not my word) 35,000 vehicles are being diverted to surface streets, how do you expect the 100 freight trips per day (per the SDEIS) who can't use the deep-bore tunnel because they're carrying hazardous or flammable materials to avoid choke points? You seem to miss the import of the post, which is that because the tunnel does not replace Viaduct capacity, you're going to get surface street crowded surface streets in any event--just without any extra transit capacity. The Surface/Transit/I-5 plan's addressing the far larger I-5 choke point through town has the potential to have a far greater impact than the tunnel for freight.

RE: money's the sticking point
Sorry, my paraphrasing may have condensed your point down too much. I didn't mean to imply that the Elevated was cheaper than Surface/Transit, just DBT. What I heard you saying was that a) the Elevated is substantially cheaper than the DBT, and b) the Elevated has/had much more political support in the legislature than Surface/Transit, ergo c) if the DBT fails, the Elevated could be a realpolitik compromise--and is that the worst thing?

RE: This quote, while probably honest, means nothing. Consider the source.
The House vote on the funding was 53-43, so I'd say he starts with a cohort of at least 43 representatives. The Senate voted 39-9, so Kastama may need to make more friends, but, again, this was a make-or-break provision. No one thought the bill would pass without it. If overruns amount to a few hundred million, I think there may be wiggle room, but anything more than that could easily end up on Seattle's bill, given the state's struggles with the deficit and gas tax revenues not meeting projections.

RE: franchise fees
Thanks, guango. I didn't mean to give the impression that Comcast had formal influence over how the city spent the revenue. I just wanted to point out that once the city is always going to need money from somewhere to pay for email services, and having found a revenue stream in Comcast, if the city changes the arrangement, they'll have to deal with a "new" cost they have to allocate money for. The tendency would be to avoid the hassle if possible. I got the impression from Mayor McGinn's campaign that he'd be interested in a different model of broadband provision, so knock on wood.

RE: Math Mistake
This wouldn't be the first time I've made a math error, but I don't think I see the one you're talking about. The 5.5% comes from Regence's 2005-2009 period of medical payouts. Cantwell's release says they've then "raised 2011 premiums for policy holders in Washington state by as much as 37 percent." I'm taking that to mean raised from 2010, which is a year *after* the period that saw the 5.5% increase.

RE: I don't know--is it okay to be an anonymous blogger?
This is a worthwhile question, but I'm not sure it's wholly applicable here. Remmu wasn't hired until this August. She says on her site that she has always studiously avoided writing about anything to do with her work in general, and so far as I can tell, that's true. Given that her employer *did* know she blogged, I'd think it was up to them to bring up any formal arrangement during the hiring process. Also, she's not exactly anonymous--she's writing under a pen name, which is different, and a single search on the internet reveals who she is.

RE: $$$$$
We've had roads switched to center turn-lanes in Seattle for the past twenty years. I don't see that, in general principle, there's any data to suggest this doesn't work to reduce speeding while maintaining overall capacity. (On a case-by-case basis there may well be evidence pro or con.) But I see that you haven't found any data for your bottleneck assertion, either, Greg, or just don't care to share it. These context- and data-free kinds of comments strike me as a big waste of time, and yes, narcissistic.

RE: Ashamed
It's ridiculous. I spent 5 minutes at Ivar's the other day trying to decided between trash, compost, and recycling bins. Each bin had a list of five or so things that went in it. I normally have something like 15 seconds allotted for this procedure, so after I timed out, I just dumped all the questionable stuff into one bin. Any recycling/composting program that a three-year-old can't figure out in less than 30 seconds is just wishful thinking.

RE: Our State's Constiution
You're right about the limitation on what gas tax money can be used for, but Fangio, consider that in 2009 gas tax revenue made up 4 percent of SDOT's budget: http://www.publicola.net/2010/08/31/we-all-pay-for-the-roads Anytime you're talking about building new infrastructure, you're not talking about gas taxes so much as issuing bonds. Debt is how major public works are funded; the gas taxes are collateral.

RE: only one billion
Don't get me wrong--the bridge needs replacing, the Viaduct needs to come down. If we weren't already stuck in a cycle of over-spending on new before we take care of the existing infrastructure, that story might be different. But in any case, my argument with the replacements is that these particular options are both sucking up the maximum (and then some) money available with not a lot in return for the extra billions involved.

Courtenay replies
Xahnia of Courtenay writes in: Courtenay is pretty much a retirement community for the upper middle class, who enjoy the fresh air and wildlife such as bear and cougar in their back yards. We are fortunate to have a small city in a rural setting with mountains and oceans, hiking trails, farm life, and clean rivers and streams to fish and swim in. A community that attracts people interested in natural healthy living. That is what makes up Courtenay. A place, I am sure, Dr. Suzuki would feel right at home.

RE: Okay, where's the images?
On the DPD site there's a pdf with the names of the four firms involved. And then a breakout of the names of all the smaller firms working with each of lead four. But no, vision you don't get, aside from slogging through the PowerPoint decks. I will say this about Corner--though it's of limited utility since I exited early--which is that his presentation impressed me with his pacing. He pulled you back from the habituated "park" image, and from what's there already, so that there'd be room to imagine something different. That takes guts when you have 1,000 people waiting for a money shot.

RE: Phrasing
I read collides in that case as "car and train hit each other." ("Come together violently" is one definition of collide.) But I'd also accept "car and train collide." Really, my point is just that the news is that cars are creating light rail accidents, so however you phrase it, the first impression shouldn't be, "Oh, a train smashed into a car again."

RE: garden at King Street
I could handle a garden that was a real attraction, actually. Something with a theme, rather than blah in a planter. There is an elevator planned, btw. The funding for the whole project is still being located, so the expense of the elevator is slowing its introduction. Here's what SDOT says: SDOT is currently seeking additional funding to complete the restoration. This currently unfunded phase of the project will complete a full seismic structural upgrade of the entire building. It would also include restoration of historic finishes and architectural detailing throughout the inside and outside of the building—such as the plaster work and historic lighting in the main waiting room. With additional funding an elevator is also planned connecting the Plaza level second floor to the ticketing and train platforms on the first floor.

RE: Collisions and headlines
Hi Mike, thanks! I won't say it's the most important story of the day, but as a headline skimmer myself, I think it's important to break bad habits, which is what this seems to be. The cumulative impression--again, purely from the headlines--is that the train is causing the colliding, and it's just not. You're no doubt right about the reliability toll being the bigger issue than cost. I still think it might be a story worth pursuing, because it doesn't seem like drivers are learning not to make illegal lefts in front of the train.

RE: Yes, but...
You are correct, and that's a good point. Big-picture-wise, we're not talking about opposites. It's a judgment call about which might be the best solution (because best means many things). Being more aware of how kneejerk intuitions close off new data doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong. In the case of road diets, they're designed primarily to reduce speeding, so at a basic level it's absolutely going to take speeders more time.

RE: Tristan and Isolde
I will disagree, Mr. Rom, to the extent that while I think you can deepen your understanding of Wagner's work by tracing influences, when you talk about the work, you talk primarily about what's on stage. That's the artist's task, and I think Wagner did it well, evidenced by the fact that many more people have seen and enjoyed "Tristan" than have read Schopenhauer. However, I take your point that Wagner's aim isn't prurient as such. The passion between the two lovers is a launching point, not an end. Still, without passion, there's no launch. I'm not asking for two sweaty people on the floor (nor am I against that, depending on who's singing)--but however their relationship is portrayed, the audience needs to feel the electricity in it.
