Posts like this one make me realize how little people actually know about what is really going on at the City. Duerr's time is known as "do nothing era", because very little, if anything was done during his tenure as mayor. He shied away from any controversy and was not willing to lead any significant policy changes. Bronconnier was the opposite - he had his own agenda and vision about what can and should be done and he has never shied away from telling developers how he wants things done. All major developments approved under his tenure were precisely to his satisfaction.
Developers and builders don't support political candidates to make them their proverbial puppets, it is just not possible in today's politics. Most of the time they just don't wanna get on politicians' black list.
