Council's problem re The Fishman, remains that of spurned lover; having been courted seduced and bedded by Larry, council simply is unwilling to surrender all hope that things still might turn out well.
What the city needs is a brand new suitor, one capable of rekindling those glorious moments of what might have been; fortunately I have a wooer, eager to take council to even greater heights of excitement and ecstasy. All council need to do, to explore this opportunity, is signal its readiness to re-enter and play the game. Arranging this coupling requires but a few simple basic steps; council must declare its readiness to dance, once again, by putting The `scoundrel' Fishman in default, cease rubber stamping Larry's list of candidates for eminent domain and announce itself open to bids on the triangle, sewer plant and various other parcels not yet seized by The Fish; these steps would immediately realize offers of $10 million for the triangle, roughly the same (per unit price) for the sewer plant and additional sites in the waterfront redevelopment area. Downside, Larry would be really pissed off and pout; upside, Larry would be really pissed off and pout, Asbury would collect a slug of dough and the NY Times could write an article about, and visitors would see, actual development.
