The collapse didn’t just halt construction—it’s a gut punch for families, small businesses, and city budgets that counted on the project’s promise. It’s wild how quickly a high-profile development can unravel when costs soar and lenders pull back. Do you think cities should take a harder look before backing mega-projects like this? How do we balance ambition with real community risk? #Business #RitzCollapse #Texas
