I find the minute-by-minute stuff to be a waste of time, kind of like up-to-the-minute stock reports. About the graphic novel approach, I think it's an interesting idea and I admire Smith's obvious skill, but the execution is pretty lacking. What it needed was a clear narrative and some relatively simple, schematic figures. Instead, it yaws wildly between sarcastically presenting the pro-parking side and straightforwardly presenting the anti side. The pictures have too much distracting detail. I'd like to see something like this for the congestion pricing debate, but more pointed. I have to disagree, Zach.

Because although for some reason Streetsblog lost interest early, they seem to be hammering something out nonetheless... http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_200115651.html Yo, guys, are you going to cover all the deals that are supposedly going on *right this minute* between Spitzer/Silver/Bloomberg?
