Prairie Ave.:

Wait, I thought he had the sales to make this happen :) The geeks blaming it on the Alderman are delusional. He never introduced an ordinance, he just said he was considering it. The courts rightfully tossed the lawsuit.
If this project truly had the sales that the developer self-reported, 99% of other developers would have been in the ground, or at least doing site prep and demo. If Lucian LaGrange only did $500k worth of work, then they did not get very far past renderings in the design phase.
My guess is that some slimball deal to sell the lots to the city using TIF dollars will be worked out, so the behind the scenes, unnamed investors can recoup some of their money.
