‘“It bears watching because you’ve got a guy who’s unhappy with this contractual situation,” Schefter said. “I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Buffalo anytime soon.

And that goes for a lot of other developers too. I think that may be the more fundamental reason.

So I don’t think this is unnatural, I think it’s just a matter of the circumstances existing in the in the marketplace today.”‘
