Confab #46 picks up pretty much where the show left off last May (before the summer break). Heidi joins the show as a first-timer, but the rest of the guests are regulars. Andy kicks off the conversation with a question about spending public money on private enterprise. Although he prefers to avoid it being just a debate about the Seattle Sonics' attempt to extort ~$220 million from the City of Seattle for a new arena (Wikipedia: KeyArena), there's no doubt that the Sonics are an excellent case study (see: Citizens for More Important Things and Save our Sonics). The show eventually morphs into a conversation about urban culture and transplants to the Seattle region.
This show was recorded during the October 18, 2007 Confab.
