I agree with your second and third sentence, however not with your first sentence. This isn't a "game changer". This is a continuation of the same game they've always played.

One of the aspects of owning a place in TV that I wrestled with for several years was the fact that if I wanted to sell some day, I would in essence be selling in competition with the developer. Eventually I wrapped myself around that reality, accepted it, and did what I wanted to do, figuring I could survive a "worst case" scenario, that likely wouldn't be all that bad anyway.

At my stage in life, I will do what I want if I can afford it, and not worry about where the chips will fall in a decade or two. I think we'll be OK.
