as for this project's odds of happening, i think 50/50 is a safe and meaningless enough starting point. it might happen. it might not.

Yeah i concur with this as a matter of experience. When all that stuff in 2005 was announced i was so giddy, and now I respond with a very detached outlook. The Spire and Waterview's concurrent demise were just too much to bear. That said, this project is really, really big and expensive project, more expensive than Vista, so even without that history, the stars really have to align to make it happen.
Thank you, rgarri4!
