The Renton Sonics Arena proposal had even less support than I thought. While Renton was spending money studying it, even SEATTLE was lobbying against it. Here is the article in The Oklahoman

So here’s a thing! For you, Randy, because you don’t have a chat program I can link it to you with.
On the topic of our outing this week, Foxtrot’s Sunday comic was very familiar! http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2008/ft080525.gif
I love the comic! Thanks Rebecca (Sweet Panda)!

I hope you are not still spending my money on something that will never happen.

As my last week living in Renton comes to a close, I have a few parting shots. At one point I thought I could help Renton officials maintain or improve the quality of life in the Renton Highlands and the East Plateau, boy was I wrong. 10 years have gone by and nothing has changed for the highlands. The new construction taking place east of union gives me the impression that growth in not under control and is being poorly managed. I’ve lost all respect for the city council. To hear a story about how little you knew about back room dealings with the city of Seattle and the lawmakers in Olympia over an arena that was never meant to be is just icing on the cake. Take Coulon park and water quality. I’m afraid to swim there. You are all a bunch of suck ups looking to serve another term. Name one member who is a stand out? I can’t! The one thing you have gotten right, is knowing how to pat each other on the back without looking totally ridiculous. As far as council members having an open door policy to address any citizens concerns, other than at council meetings, that don’t exist. It’s time to say good by to Renton.
That’s pretty harsh.

That’s pretty harsh. I hope you have a better experience at where wher you are moving.

bitter much?
Sounds like someone’s RE speculation didn’t work out. I’m sorry for you. I see quite a few of those around here. Looks like there will be quite a few short sale and foreclosures.
While I hoped that Renton would clean up Highland quicker, this isn’t China where officials can just kick out the “undesirables”. Now with another RE down cycle, it would take even longer. Just another fact of life. The housing density issue has more to do with Growth Management Act than anything else, IMO.
