The Developer does own the buildings in the commercial districts (the squares). This allows him to choose/elect the supervisors for the districts that control the amenities. But, since the amenities are funded by the residents and not by the commercial districts these supervisors typically stay away from fixing something that isn't broken.

If the Developer has financial issues it might somehow affect the businesses in the squares and we would notice that but I just don't see that being a big issue.

If the developer ran into financial problems, they might start putting new houses closer together, or they might cut back on finishes on little things like not bothering with ceiling fans, or they might undercut prices on existing homes to stimulate sales........oh wait .
