Feh - so the City has to answer in 20 days - big whoop.

This means that the City now has to respond to the original complaint. Apparently, the City responded with only a request that the court dismiss the lawsuit. Now it has to answer the items identified as problems in the lease that the plaintiff believes violate the limitation on the length of the lease and other details in the development agreement between the city and Greater Bay. One hopes that this is already done and the city can easily meet the deadline. What this says is that Judge Fine did not want to dismiss the suit on its face and wants to examine the various arguments.
