Gaylord was never obligated to hire union labor only. They feared “disuption” and lawsuits if they didn’t. If Gaylord does everything by the book, and if Chula Vista residents truly support the project, then Gaylord has nothing to fear.
I think it’s just a cop out of the project during a downturn. Blame the unions now to strenghten your negotiating position when the project gets revived in 10 years.
If the project is so great, why aren’t development companies from all over the USA bidding for it? In that case, Chula Vista should have no problem finding a replacement builder.
The Chula Vista bayfront sounds like a stale real estate listing with no buyers. If a 2/2 in Downtown SD drops to $350k, then one in Chula Vista is worth no more than $250k. There’s still plenty of buildable land in Downtown SD and 6000 condos are coming. Who’s gonna buy in Chula Vista?
