I'm siding with the developers on this one.
Its so hard to make a buck these days, I wish them the best.
They'll have no problems making $. Little creepy crawlies never nix a whole project, and as noted they can tweak the layout, and sell "sustainably developed" property for even more $$.
As far as the jobs things goes, I've been on a lot of these sites (pipelines, roads, house building) and the majority of laborers would appear to have questionable citizenship status judging by their language skills. So its boom town mentality, lots of hard earned bucks being made and very little of it stays local.
If the pattern holds this area will get redeveloped multiple times over the next 50 years until its another high concrete, low rent Nashville ghetto district with out-of-work humans, living with rats, roaches, and starlings.
