Rather than just asking a question that rhetorically leads in
a particular direction, one would expect David to obtain a copy of the Deed
agreement and post it on the List.
Jim, you're the one who's made an issue of the deed; it's your fishing mission. You claim to have read it. Why not post it yourself?
(It's an interesting tactic: saying "you must produce the evidence of a document I read so I can prove the point I originally made.")
Jim doesn't substantively challenge my previous assertion: he cites only a housing request being made "immediately" as "bad faith" that would negate the contract. I still say that's a thin reed, unless there are more substantive grounds I've missed.
As for David's speculation about when something is signed and "speed" having
any meaning, come on David you should know better than that. "Good Faith"
is an essential part of contract law. Contracts are written representations
of "Agreement". If one of the parties does not intend to abide by the terms
of the agreement then you do not have "Agreement" and you have one party
entering into an agreement in "Bad Faith". The timing consideration is very
important as it demonstrates that intent. It was the clear intent of the
City of Minneapolis to have the purchaser of the Elroy Block perform in in
particular manner, otherwise the conditions would not be included in the
document in such detail. The buyer signed that agreement and as part of the
"Consideration" agreed to perform on those specific terms. Failing to
perform on those conditions is as serious as not paying the money that was
also stipulated as a condition of the sale.
Well, I think we're both speculating, but to hone in...
What's the nonperformance or bad faith here, other than your "speed" reading? I don't understand how a request to add housing to a light-industrial project constitutes bad faith or non-performance. Now, if there was some date by which the light-industrial project must be completed, that's different. But Jim's read the deed and hasn't cited that. (Jim, you should post the deed to cite what you're referring to <grin>.)
Some may have contempt for that contract law that our country is founded
upon, but I believe that our economic system depends on that "contract law"
to function.
Precisely. That's why I believe that wishes (that Sabri would go away) might not be allowed by the contract.
And for what I promise is the final time, if the agreement is LEGAL, would you as a decision-maker support more housing and property taxes, or not, and why? There is no right answer.
