That's a bit overly pessimistic. Mixed-use density isn't some unattainable utopia, it happens all over the world, even in Winnipeg!
Besides, UofM just owns the land and the plan is for private developers to develop the lots. Besides the environment requirements (which should probably be reviewed if they want to attract development in the current economic/political climate) the "budget" of the potential projects here are mostly out of their hands.
