The only thing REVOLTING about what Walsh gets paid-to-write is no financial details were ever disclosed to the public

The Grove on Main Street is rapidly rising on the eastern edge of downtown Mesa. Together with an exhaustive renovation of the Mesa Arizona Tempe grounds, construction of Arizona State University’s building and a nearby new “urban neigborhood”, The Grove will radically transform the downtown landscape.

The Grove is well on its way to putting its stamp on the change.
“It’s our first crane in the air in downtown Mesa, which is an exciting time,’’ said Jeff McVay, Mesa’s manager of downtown transformation, alluding to The Grove’s status as the first major downtown redevelopment project headed toward completion.
Two large buildings are scheduled for completion in November and others in January, said Carl Duke, vice president of City Creek Reserve, the real estate arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . . ."

City Creek Center in Salt Lake City Under Scruting by The Feds In An IRS Tax Fraud Filing Case
An investigation in The Washington Post
Mormon Church has misled members on $100 billion tax-exempt investment fund, whistleblower alleges
"A former investment manager alleges in a whistleblower complaint to the Internal Revenue Service that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has amassed about $100 billion in accounts intended for charitable purposes, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by The Washington Post. "
________________________________________________________________
"The confidential document, received by the IRS on Nov. 21, accuses church leaders of misleading members — and possibly breaching federal tax rules — by stockpiling their surplus donations instead of using them for charitable works. It also accuses church leaders of using the tax-exempt donations to prop up a pair of businesses..."
The complaint provides a window into the closely held finances of one of the nation’s most visible religious organizations, based in Salt Lake City.
It details a church fortune far exceeding past estimates and encompassing stocks, bonds and cash.
Based on internal accounting documents from February 2018, the complaint estimates the portfolio has grown in value from $12 billion in 1997, when Ensign was formed, to about $100 billion today.

We are so blessed!
Just another one of those 'Revelations', published today by East Valley Tribune staff writer Jim Walsh who's getting ahead of his stories published by The Times Media Group for local consumption, framing them with a battle between "historic preservation can't beat progress" and "revitalizing" downtown Mesa.
Now he's revealing Phase 2 in the Mesa LDS Temple-area, where for-profit investment affiliates own more than 70 properties - they essentially "own the neighborhood" so we won't see any neighbors objecting. . .
