Based on your misreading of my previous analogy, either you don't read analogies well or I don't create them well, but let me try again. Continuing the romantic theme ... Suppose you called a restaurant for a reservation at a corner table with a great view and were assured by the manager that you could have it. However, when you arrived, you found that table occupied. If the manager said, "I told you could have it based on my understanding at the time that it would be available, hence it was the truth at the time. Since then someone came and offered me $25 to have that table." Would you just shrug and say, "Well at least it was the truth at the time" ?
Obviously, where the analogy falls short is that a table in a restaurant is not a life decision. But, it does illustrate the value of one's commitment to you.

Who and how were you lied to? Who switched things up on you?
A good business, a successful business is flexible. I have worked in business. A lot of us have. We have had campaigns extended and the rules changed as something hit big that we were selling.
As I have said before, I am sometimes quite surprised by people who really don't understand how most business works. They may have taught, worked for the government, or some other institution, and be very, very smart people,.......
Business is fluid. The economy appears to be on the upswing, where a couple of years ago when plans were made it was on the downturn.
I do not think anyone ever spoke "ex cathedra" about when the building would stop. Some sales reps may have run their mouths, but I don't think the decision makers ever said it. Final Phase, a selling tactic, could go on for years. Just like life does.
One of the things we residents like to talk about is how long is the building going to go on. I have heard contractors opine, and many villagers, but where was it officially written, the build out year or goal, that you should feel so betrayed?
Think about the positives of continued growth. The teams of contractors still employed, taking care of their families and paying taxes, their children attending the charter schools.
Workers not on the welfare rolls.
