There is no market for either of the projects at the present time. City Government does not understand that the market has to exist first. That's why the ballpark has been a success.

Council has failed in accountability of the Marina district and the Steam Plant. In both cases they took on grand projects and didn't hold up realistic goals - both temporary and permanent.

Council has failed in accountability of the Marina district and the Steam Plant.

In both cases they took on grand projects and didn’t hold up realistic goals – both temporary and permanent.

This has been a boondoggle from the beginning. Whenever I hear about the Marina District it always makes me think of the Monorail episode of the Simpsons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEZjzsnPhnw What was the name of the original snake-oil salesman who sold us this terrible idea over a decade ago? I wonder how the development in Pittsburgh is doing? You know, the one the Marina District was modeled after. By the way, what do we have in common with Pittsburgh?
