Great interview of a complicated guy. Looking forward to Thursday.

It still seems like an odd plan. Psychologically the site will always be perceived as "over there" with no connection to Sacramento proper. Perhaps extend the site under the highway so their is a connection to the river. Than use water-taxis, like Vancouver, to connect downtown and the new development. Plenty of time for a partial rethink. It will take at least a year for a good MAI to determine a value for the the Cal Expo site. And another year for the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers to sign off on the enviromental remediation, (I'm betting on those adorable, if cannibalistic, burrowing owls.), and flood plain issues respectively.

I think it may be time for ALL parties involved in this fiasco to take a hard look at the old maxim BEFORE the FBI comes knocking. "Its never the crime...its the cover-up".

They had real heart all the way to the end of the game. Professional basketball at its highest level. The future looks very, very good.

Is Bettinelli an MAI? This is strait-forward stuff. Factor in the EPA remediation issues, (Use the paint factory now booming mall in Emeryville as a template. Don't screw this step up or nothing will ever get done.), use some data from Baltimore's waterfront project and your good to go.
