If this is a surprise to anyone I would insult their critical thinking. How could that have gone any other way? Obviously that land was going to be more valuable as single family detached homes in a wildly speculative real estate environment and of course developers would know that. Of course these developers would have influence too, they were Ford's base in the 905!
