You have to read between the lines. He is not obligating himself to anything beyond the stadium, the parking garage, and about 150k square feet of retail and office.

The housing and all the stuff we got excited about are simply aspirational at this point, and he's not bound to do it. He already got his money/subsidy, and has a bad track record.

Needless to say, I'm not optimistic about how it will end up.
