Comments on More Capitol Hill Carnage

And Broadway continues its rapid downward spiral.

Who owns the Siam building? How can we encourage them to not sell it to the owner of the surrounding buildings?

When are they going to pass an ordinance that entirely prevents property owners from exercising their rights to do with their property as they please? Who cares about free alienability and other bastions of real property law?

On most things, I agree with the Stranger and its staff. But this sickening sentimentality over Capitol Hill development (see, e.g., ChaCha), contrasted with your urban-hipster desires for density/renewal/gentrification, is enough to make my head spin.

Da Lat has a following, which will no doubt follow it elsewhere. If the following is what it purports to be, perhaps an increase in the size of the space and the rent is appropriate. On the other hand, it appears that Da Lat does not or will not have a right (contract or otherwise) to a particular location, particular parking, or low rent. Those are the breaks, I'm afraid.

Who wants to start the betting pool for how long this new space will stay empty? It's not like retail is beating a path to Capitol Hill thesedays ...

Your neighborhood is so dead.

Actually, the Double Header is Seattle's oldest gay bar. Everyone should give it some love. It's worth it just to And now they have cocktails!!!

With that said, I haven't been there in six months. I hope it's still there. If not, disregard everything I said.
