"It seems that the mayor's entourage has become more hostile to our project -- which was not the case when we launched it," Ysern said. "Add to that the residents' opposition and we are now forced to look for other options, including that of leaving the premises."
The Paris city council and the French government each was set to invest $29.26 million in the project, which is estimated to cost $177 million.



Ahhh... I think it must be posturing. I dont know too much about french politics and the issues with the local neighbors, but it sounds more like a veiled threat. That tells me, I gotta go see it in person sometime soon.
