It was a good story. Too bad the Strib buried it in the "Business Insider" section (and under the "Commercial Real Estate" section heading). This was a public policy story with taxpayer implications far beyond the business ghetto; it deserved to be in Metro, which more citizens regularly read. Of course, they have to save scarce room there for C.J. and James Lileks (who should both be moved to Variety, displacing some mind-deadening and placeless wire service copy that runs there). David Brauer Kingfield Nominal Strib competitor - but really, bringing this one as a reader who is annoyed they can't move Variety stuff out of Metro and give good local reporters all the space - and play - they need for local news.
