Developers often have other reasons for wanting to do a project. One being 
humanitarian, but another is professional recognition. This can come from many 
sources — architectural designers, HUD, etc.

Too late now, but I would encourage others to approach everyone, and to ask 
people on this list what they would do.

I’m very sorry you all had to throw in the towel but I understand when enough 
is just time to move on.
