@kaskadia Thanks for RT. This garage & re-open Pine are theft of public property as far as I'm concerned. Why important to occupy Westlake.

@odaraia as a planner, I largely have to agree. Mainly because public spaces owned/maintained by businesses are exclusionary and fail to..

@odaraia capture the interest of patrons. There are exceptions however, but there has to be a stong money motive and good to work inspite

  @odaraia *good design team to work inspite of status quo

@SeaRFez It's more fun and engaging to go to a real public space with real benches, people interacting. Why street food and real parks work.
This HUD parking garage at Pacific Place is nicely appointed for suburbanites to come downtown. Why #occupyseattle  (elevator pic)
More fancy and expensive (lighting) appointments at HUD funded parking Pacific Place. #occupyseattle  elevators

@odaraia I heard that. B/c I thought it was Dow, I was completely shocked, but then I recalibrated

  @tigerljily Dow was trivializing, I think, but he might have been embarrassed by Neil's artless support of bizness.
The complicity of city, county officials & police officers such as Richard Neil in privatization of public space is why #occupyWestlake

@odaraia and come on, it's not like these businesses are your neighbors' haberdashery, they're all soulless corporate junk sellers.

@tigerljily Yes, there's no Theo chocolates at Westlake; it's Warren Buffet's See's Candies!

@tigerljily +You must have seen new tv commercials from AMEX re small businesses: I think Amazon is defined as a "small bix 4 tax purposes."
