I can see the headline now: "Ilitches plan to develop District residential [is delayed/unravels] against [rising interest rates/glut of downtown housing,/whatever]."

I hope I'm wrong, but you know the old phrase about "fool me once?" Well, the Ilitches have fooled Detroiters dozens of times over the years.
