The developer is not stupid. They knew they could have moved the street and sold every sixty feet of that view for $100,000. The developer, long ago, made more money than they will ever spend. Some rich man once said, “After a certain amount, money is only a way to keep score.”

I believe one of the primary interests of the developer is their legacy. When the members of the family, like their parents before them, die, I think they want to be remembered, not for their immense wealth, but for the community they created. That is why tie idea of a solar village is a possibility.
More money is the key to MORE POWER. Was Bezos satisfied, was the Kock Bros satisfied, was Jack Welsh, what about S. Adelson? Power, power, and more power!!!!!!!!
