Lawsuits and NIMBYs screwed up 7th and Market, but I blame Manchester for what happened with his project. He didn’t have any lawsuits when he broke ground and claimed he had full funding, that’s what was reported in the press. He then knowingly built the Navy tower knowing the rest wasn’t going to happen. I remember someone on this forum trying to call his office to get info on the project when it seemed to have stalled and they were hung up on. He can’t blame COVID-19 either, this stuff happened before the pandemic.
