Whenever I decide I want to undertake a new project, I first check out my finances to see if I can afford the project.  If I I cannot afford the project as I envision it, I re figure the project to fit the current budget, put the project off until I can afford to do it, or I scrap the project altogether.  I think Mr. Bulski and his associates need to re figure their project so that MUPTE  is not needed and to build their project minus the City owned lot.  

If you want to be a developer,  that is great, but if you can't afford to pay for the projects you would like to develop, you need to rethink the scope and scale of your visions of development.   

I would love to redevelop parts of Eugene and Springfield that would be affordable mixed use residential-retail neighborhoods but I don't have the finances to do so.  I would never ask the residents of either city to fund these projects through tax breaks or selling City owned land below market value, it just isn't the right thing to do.
