I sense some need here to punish developers willing to take risks on the
remediation and development of clearly challenged properties.  Peter's
examples of "claw-backs" present false hope.  How many more projects would
have been developed without such "claw-backs?"  Defining a general public
benefit standard that applies in every case amounts to a one-size-fits-all
cookie cutter:  it may have appeal to bean counters and for purely academic
purposes
