You are also committing the false cause fallacy by automatically presuming the delays must be due to the project failing, which proves my argument you have absolutely zero knowledge on any of these issues you grossly misunderstand how the FAA works you've misunderstood and ignored the context behind the Legends Tower also your reference to regulatory hurdles applies to the Legends Tower.

Brodie, pointing out that no permits exists isn't "false cause", literally a direct observation. The lack of any permit or financial closure isn't confusing it's literally a fact. Claiming I “ignore context” when all you’ve shown is a single hazard finding with no follow up filings is gaslighting. And no shit regulatory hurdles apply to Legends tower the city already approved the entire project last year dawg. Matteson already made it through the preliminary infrastructure coordination, site plan review, land use, and zoning approval. There is no more major regulatory hurdles for the legends tower. All they have to do is start filing permits for ground and utilities work which usually gets approved easily considering they had 4 regulatory hurdles including land usage approved. Even with the FAA rulings complicating things, Matteson said they’d quickly resubmit plans and still break ground in first quarter 2025(despite the FAA ruling). Here we are, six months later, and nothing has happened. Matteson is clueless, he downplayed the FAA rulings saying ground would still break anyway while simultaneously using the FAA as an excuse not to even start a plan on how to build it! He doesn’t even have a plan for demolition yet! The amount of excuses you got for this guy is wild.

Delays indicate complicated systems at work, not inactivity

Again, true for projects with transparent actual milestone reporting. But Legends Tower has no milestones post FAA. Without any signs of engineering submissions or construction mobilization, what you call “complicated systems” is literally inactivity. You should have basic understanding that full on inactivity behind the scenes is more than a delay Lol.

"Visible groundwork is one of many indicators. Others include permit logs, contractor pre qualifications, bank letters of credit, and engineering filings. None exist for Legends. You’re ignoring every non‑ground‑work metric because it makes your case look weak. If you knew anything about engineering or high rise construction you would know building permits almost always come AFTER FAA approval NOT before you keep demonstrating you don't know what you're talking about."

LMAO, still zero public permits, not even site prep, no engineering docs, no financing proof. You’re seriously telling me with a straight face a 1,900ft tower might not be dead and is getting built without staff, without bids, and without any paper trail?😭 Other projects list their utility, grading, and foundation permits online. Legends? Nothing. And sure, I know contractor bids and bank letters aren’t public, but outlets like OKCTalk and Finance & Commerce report every major move and they’ve said nothing. Even OKCTALK who’s usually optimistic about these type of projects thinks the whole thing is dead. Now you’re moving the goalposts again first you said the FAA can’t block a project, now suddenly permits "usually come after FAA approval"? Pick one man. FAA regs (14 CFR §77) I found out that cities don’t have to wait on the FAA to process basic utilities like staging and grading permits, they just need to be notified before starting.
So nah, saying I’m ignoring "non ground metrics" is just a way to dodge the fact that there are no metrics. Every real megaproject leaves a trail long before ground breaks. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-E/part-77
