No, they are not developers, but they could easily sell or lease land to developers on which to build. But they don't want to do this, because that might mean potential competition to their shitty bars and restaurants.

Instead, they dangle the mirage of "coming soon" over the perpetually gullible city council.
Eh, I'd still place them behind the Morouns. The Morouns never built *anything*, they only wish to gobble up the works of others and either profit from them [[Ambassador Bridge) or actively destroy them [[Michigan Central Station)
