^ This. Waterview failed for a good number of reasons, with the declining economy being more the cherry on top of the raging dumpster fire that project ended up turning into, as opposed to being a root cause.
And just because a recession is coming doesn't mean 1000M will be killed off. Far from it. It might delay the start until the housing market begins to cycle up, or it might go rental to avoid presale requirements and the more stringent loan environment to home buyers. Neither of those scenarios is anywhere close to the project imploding financially, as your example did.
