Well the funny thing is, the city is the one that screwed everyone over, not the developers. The developers are getting screwed over because sales have slowed down dramatically due to the city's inaction. Are we to not trust our own city? They promised a park and are not delivering. First off, how anyone can promise a park on land they do not own is beyond me. Most people were not aware the land did not belong to the city. Thus the city misrepresenting the situation.

Hi, newbie here, sorry for writing in english but not from montreal however, i am trying to learn. I live in the namur area and i have to say its very embarasing how the city of montreal has handled this redevelopment. It leaves me questioning any plans for the hipodrome. I was really hoping this development would turn out similar to the regent park development in toronto. Instead it looks like something you would see in laval or longueuil. It seems the city has money to burn for all these festivities for the 375 but does not have any money to build what was promised to the owners in this neighborhood. It also seems like the same is hapening with grifintown. I have a friend living there and it seems like the park that was promised is being reduced in size. It's very disheartening because alot of people have spent their life savings buying here with fake promises.
