Update:
I called the General Manager of Streetside to find out the specifics about why they cancelled phase 5 and got some more info. It basically comes down to the slope. The farther down they have to dig, the farther back into the hill they have to dig. It got too expensive and dangerous.
The reasons are understandable, because people do screw up. However, I am still upset that Streetside didn't do anything for the customers that got screwed. I was calm polite when I called GM and at no point lost my temper, but the dude kept talking about the escape clause and how it was beyond their control. He was trying to cover his own ass from a lawsuit. I wanted to know why they didn't do more to keep the customers (offer more compensation). He thought $2000 of free upgrades was plenty. The fact that I had to pay another $35000 for the same unit in phase 6 didn't mean anything to him. He was more focused on how much Streetside was losing because they had to re-design phase 5. My heart bleeds for this corporation *sarcasm.
Bottom line. Streetside sucks. They don't care about the customer and it starts from the top. Tell your friends and family. Spread the word.
On another note: I found a new place just off the Red Mile. Sweet.
