      The country was founded by people who were aware they were the children of immigrants, so xenophobic rules other countries have were deliberately left out. This gives current and future generations the chance all current white people's immigrant ancestors had, long before Great Britain's colonies declared themselves independent United States.

      It's the Bones of an unfinished and most expensive part of a building. All the hard work has been bought so I'm sure someone is going to buy and complete the structure for a discounted cost. It would cost more to demo it and build something new on that same land then to just use what's there and finish it. Hopefully it's an American company this time.

    I saw this problem developing years ago when the developer didn't pay their contractor(s). They put a lien on the building due to non-payment. It was all in the news. This was when they were in active construction. If you don't have money at that time of construction, that doesn't bode well for the project's completion. And here we are. Another ghost building in the city.

Bet that our financing is well on it’s way to round two, just watch our real estate bubble burst. Can’t hide the non-payments empty buildings, still fresh in everyone’s minds.

    Foreclose using imminent domain due to negligence, code violations and abandonment of the project due to bankruptcy. The company is foreign and declared bankruptcy. Screw them! They made the mess. Sell it to a developer that can finish it. What company wouldn't want to take over a project for pennies on the dollar. Looks like it is under roof and a matter of repairing some damaged infrastructure and then equipping the units.

    If the city fines them and assesses collections for clean up and other actions the city requires, and the owner doesn't pay, the city gets to take the property to satisfy the unpaid fines and costs. That's what happens if you don't pay property tax too.
