Traditionally, wouldn't that area be simply marshland with mosquitoes and frogs? If maritime-related businesses see no profit, why insist on that? I think the City and developer need to sit down, remove their egos and compromise to do something beneficial for the community. It should be as simple as that.

There was a binding agreement, Onni tried to pull a fast one. The city should bleed them for the next 50 years if that is what it takes. The city should under no circumstances set a precedent and allow to be screwed like this. They better bleed them till they cry.
Or better yet, until they lower lease rates and fill the places as per the original and binding agreement. They can fill them all up overnight if they wanted to be a little honorable.
I am certain Onni knew the situation and thought they would commit a bit of fraud / corruption or what ever you call it and get away with screwing over the city and its citizens for some extra profit. Deal is a deal. Make it work. Or keep it empty and bleed money for eternity. In fact the city should pass a by law to target this bs and start levying some sort of fines against Onni if they don't pretty up the empty units. Compromise for the sake of compromise in this case is absolutely not logical nor should it be a option. /rant
