The parking deal happened because of corruption, not because it was the only way to raise money. It was rammed through the city council in a day after being negotiated behind closed doors.

Nobody could honestly think a $1B windfall appearing from nowhere was worth signing without significant review. Every person involved understood the significance of the deal.
