this paragraph says it all....
"In December 2006, the developer offered to sell the site for affordable housing. But the city only offered a small payment to secure an option for purchase, which was too late in the game for the developer to change his plans. If this specific site is uniquely desirable for affordable housing, why did the city not make a straight-out offer to purchase it in December, and why did no nonprofit seek to acquire it prior to the creation of condo development plans?"
it's too late people. move on and get a life.
great article by the way.
