The Almighty Market is no god for me, so I think there are lots more risks and stakes than financial. That's basic Christian theology. 2000 years since the birth of Christ and the advent of God's presence, and we're still building Pigeon Forge?
That the market may serve those with the means to have a financial stake, I too can take as granted. That this thinking is what gives us Dixie Stampede is what makes me embarrassed .

So you would police taste then? And therefore someone with no financial stake in the deal should have the ability, at no cost nor risk to them, to influence the cost and risk to the developer.

I know you hate it, but unfortunately along with freedom comes places like Pigeon Forge...God Bless the USA

I'm all for letting the market decide taste. Why, just look at what the market gave the world in Pigeon Forge--absolutely, the most stunning tribute to the Great Smokies one could imagine having created. The same could be said for Myrtle Beach, and increasingly, the entire South Carolina coast.
Thank you, almighty Market, for blessing us with this creation, and the sense enough to enhance it with strip malls and outlets.
