Some TNDs Struggle To Started

"Some TNDs don't seem to run into meaningful roadblocks. Sure, there are bumps in the road that delay the approvals process, but some, like Prospect in Longmont, Colo., have a developer who loses a little sleep, has a good heart-to-heart with the city council, and discovers a short route through the bureaucratic red tape to make the vision come true. In other words, the TND gets built before the developer moves into the bifocal stage of his life.Others, like Greenfield Village in Lynden, Wash., get built because the developer didn't push hard enough for the variances needed to get it done right, resulting in a good effort that could have been great.So what happens when push comes to shove -- and neither party gives in? Well, not much, actually. Nowadays, a multiple-year struggle is not uncommon."
