Default developer/entertainment/squares

If the developer owns the squares and leases/owns some of the businesses/stores I think it's to the developer's advantage to keep the entertainment going to attract people to the squares. Seems to me that a lot of the restaurant/store traffic is at night when people (both residents, guests, visitors and outsiders) come in for the combination of shopping/sightseeing/dancing/eating.

Sometimes there seems to be a feeling of upcoming abandonment that maybe isn"t really justified, plus it's looking like several more years of development to come anyway. Look how long and how much land there is on the southwest part and still north of 466A
