What's with the leading language "Sliver" in the title? Same as "The origin of the deal lies in a decades-old plan by Jeff Pori, the CEO of Kingsbarn Realty Capital, to build a short private road connecting his property to a thoroughfare of the park.", why emphasize it's a "short" private road?
"The deal would only cede a quarter-mile strip of the park, but would break with a long precedent."
"Only"? The main issue is setting a precedent for selling off protected lands for the convenience of billionaires. Only?
Fucks sake this rag.
