I’m a little confused by people’s panic yesterday.

Nothing happened that was not expected. The general media has reported for months that a term sheet would happen on the 21st and after missing their date they release one on the 23rd. That sounds like worse execution than expected, not a major change in the game.

Let us know

Is it any kind of milestone when you can say “only three days until we have one month left to go?”

I’m ready for this to be over. Sad to see the wind coming out of the sails for a lot of good and reasonable Sacramento posters and feel sorry for the angry voices that are replacing them.

The cumulative news of the last 10 days has been really decidedly been in our favor. We have amazing new pictures of our building and tickets lists, while they found out their offer is low and have been presented with a series of real and difficult issues to overcome - land use and timeline obstacles. Their city manager has stated clearly that he is not certain that he can meet next week’s deadline. Continue reading →
