Follow the money. Economics is fascinating.

OR in the event that is too complicated, do as many do on this forum, blame it on the greed of certain entities. I always wonder if those folks tell their kids, grow up but for heavens sake don't leave our home and become a financial success by going into business. Don't come runnin' to me if you become a CEO of something and make a lot of money. Do something simple. Be a drug dealer or work for the government but don't make a lot of money. People will call you greedy. You will bring shame to our family.
I was using the rec dept as an example of an entity enforcing rules/policy. The entertainment dept could do the same thing. At any rate, I think the developer does own the square property, which is where the issue occurs. I think the billionaire can do/enforce what ever he/she wants in the square. Follow the money.
