Public-Private Partnerships
Public-private partnerships (P3s) have been gaining increased favor in the U.S. as a way for the public sector to harness the expertise and efficiencies of the private sector in meeting the infrastructure and social needs of local and state governments. Although P3s have been used for many years for the building of “toll” roads and bridges, they are now gaining popularity for building and repairing a wide array of infrastructures including: water systems; sewer systems; buses running on natural gas, light rail systems, and other transportation; courthouses; jails; affordable living accommodations, mixed use development of retail and housing on government-owned land, dormitories and housing for universities. P3s have been successfully used in Canada and Europe to build all of the above and more, including hospitals, for many years.
Although there is promise for this type of P3 use in the U.S., there are still many barriers and challenges to overcome.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
