Why the hell does the city own a private company 32 parking spots? Which I can only assume they have already found 32 spots somewhere else by now. Also, what moron gives a deal to someone that is, I assume, leasing spots a deal where they can renew a 99 year agreement twice? In 300 years everyone who was involved in this deal would be dead and the cars would be holograms that people keep in their pockets.
For such a stupid deal, which should have never been made? Who in their right mind approved this? Which mind you, is coming from someone who is actually pro-PDC in the sense that they use to be very good at getting big projects to happen....nowadays, I feel like they need to be dumped and replaced with something more efficient.
Also, doesn't the city own the public housing building next door to this site? Why not be like, hey, guess what, we just found 32 parking spots in a building next to this site that the city owns.....problem solved. This shouldn't be an actual issue.
And here is my final question, who was the idiot that was in charge of this deal to begin with? We should really have a day set aside where everyone in Portland get to line up and each give this person a punch in the nuts for being a moron and wasting tax payer money on something that should have been an easy deal or no deal at all.
