Missed the part of Katz saying that the area would "lose parking" and would therefore be a negative impact on his business across the street.
Excuse me?
Replace said surface parking with a huge traffic generator, consisting primarily of families with young kids, AND add a 450 stall parkade to the site? Not to mention add hotel guests who might decide to go to baseball games, and/or dine at a certain Asian Bistro across the street???
Wow.
Sure sounds like a really BAD impact. Guess you're gonna have to suck it up Mr. Mayor...
