Fair enough, but Seattle's waterfont is now completed is it not? It seems, certainly to the layman, that projects and plans get undone here more than elsewhere. My enquiry speaks more to the long and failed history surrounding developing the waterfront here, which someone else on here alluded to- why so long and contentious? Given the broader history of waterfront development it seems to have taken an inordinately long time to address even small parcels on the central waterfront.
Past plans failed because as soon as a new politician got into office they'd tear up the old ones to put their own stamp on the city. This is exactly what's happening AGAIN. Giving control of the port lands to the Fords is not the solution to the problem, it's a continuation of it.
