Yesterday, I received the email below from a developer/development in the River North neighborhood of Chicago.

I love the cartoon. But more importantly, of all the incentives offered, think the best is that the developer will “negotiate to make the deal” happen.

I’ve heard the same language from several city and suburban developers recently, Jeff, in the context that developers are creative negotiators who can craft terms appropriate to a buyer.
I’ve seen the cartoon elsewhere – wonder whether this developer licensed it or just appropriated it.
Joe, I also have heard this language. Never actually seen it in print though. I’ll have to update the post to be more clear.
Not sure about the licensing of the cartoon.
