Something to be said for political gridlock...

Saw this article from Forbes (free subscription required) titled, "Stadium Loss is Win-Win." 

"The covered stadium was to have been built on a 30-acre site atop a rail yard owned by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But if the land could be freed for other purposes, the question was why the stadium was the best use.

[...] What's never explained is why New York needs the city to build on the site. In recent years, developers have grabbed every available site to build. If the rail yards were made available for other uses, developers would build there, too. Not a stadium, but someone would build something." 

I hope a lot of Wichitans read Forbes...
