And another thing with Mr. Smith and Seattle Vision

Going through the Seattle Vision website from the previous post, I noticed this. See all those buildings just north of the stadium? They're not there yet. This is how it looks right now. Basically, all of the parking is wiped out in the Seattle 'Vision'.

Residents of the state of Washington have shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars for Safeco and Qwest Field (roughly $600 million between the two). King County residents have shelled out even more money (an additional .017% sales tax). But those fans from Spokane or Richland on the east side of the state, or Skykomish in King County, will have to either leave their car with a friend or in a park and ride or face the very real possibility of $100+ parking for games.

Mr. Smith and SV seem to think that the Mariners and Seahawks belong to Seattle. They seem to think that the stadiums belong to Seattle. Maybe it's time to wake them up.
