If they're really not ready to build, make it a public park. Developers shouldn't be allowed to sit on lots that valuable waiting for nothing.

Public parks don't make them any money. These scum bags will never develop ANYTHING if it's not gonna make them a pile of money. And they will only ever develop anything unless the economic cycle is at it's most beneficial to them. And that cycle has to remain intact
through the project. Things change during the project? Eh...fill it in with gravel and we'll see you in a decade.
You think they're ever gonna dig a single hole at Penn's Landing? You are DREAMING. The DRWC essentially signed-on to sit at that site and languish until Goldenberg finds a higher bidder. What they did to the Marina @ Morgan's Pier was brutal - displaced dozens of residents with a letter that gave them a week to vacate. What they did across the street was classic Goldenberg.
They should be banned from developing here. Not winning huge RFPs. It's absurd.
