Fair enough.
The bottom line, as I see it, is that the City of Glendale approved (and partly paid for) the whole Westgate City Center project based on not much more than 'If you build it, they will come.' That must have seemed like a good idea ten years ago, but ever since the 2008 crash, 'they' have not been coming, and they haven't been doing any more building either. They have built themselves a gigantic white elephant. One day that whole development may pay off, but in the meanwhile, Glendale is bound to go through a world of hurt.
