We put a huge amount of effort into teaching people that disengaging is exactly what you should do when there's no other reasonable solution. KRJ, and KRJ alone, rejected every compromise and negotiated settlement. The developer isn't being unreasonable at all - they want to make productive use of the land, and since no housing solution is acceptable to the city (because of member deference), they're opening a business that the city zoned the property for. They're not even "going home" - they're making productive use of the space, just not the productive use that they and almost everyone except KRJ hoped for.
