What Mr. Mann quotes from the court documents does not counter my argument. What he quotes is correct, however he is missing the fact that this refers to the court's "oversight" of the consent decree, not the completion of the units which under the consent decree are to be completed by October 1 2004. Same is true to the 2007 date. As I mentioned in my long post from yesterday, that date refers to the for-sale housing and not the 770 replacement units.
