While I agree that's true when it comes to financing here...but quite the opposite when it comes to his buildings. IMO. Very few developers are as passionate as he is with his dreams and love for quality...and demonstratively so. However, that didn't translate well into a sound funding narrative. And he played recklessly with shallow pockets even in that....

Edit/Erratum: I still believe you can have* both...proper.
