Marshall's being very myopic. Like they're going to be able to get the money from the banks for city development anyway. That "joke" in LIQcity's title is actually a reference to the last time the city went under financially. Remember anyone? The banks stopped lending to even the good ol' city of NYC. Ford told us to drop dead, but then he decided to bail us out because the potential of domino collapses in other cities. Sound familiar? Construction is not the only force that drives the economy.
