It's a no-win situation for the developer. Let's face it, timing is everything and occasionally we all have unfortunate timing. But it's understandable that people are not happy about it.

I am used to how business is run. Discounts are offered for a reason and it is not for the good of all. It is to move merchandise. If you can be flexible and buy when it is offered you are good.
If we had sold our house up north five years ago, we would have had a lot more money. It is what it is.
That sounds really cold but I am pretty sure that in the end you will be happy here. I think of the people who paid so much more for their homes here five or six years ago when the market was really UP everywhere.
I am sending hugs right now...even though you won't feel much like getting one.
