Big West Des Moines development stalls; 'Nobody wants to pay'

``Lindell lives in Michael's Landing, a 347-acre development on the southwest side of West Des Moines that's been stalled since the owners of Regency Homes announced in April 2008 that the company was going out of business... Regency Homes failed to keep its promise to spend millions of dollars on new streets and storm water drainage for the new houses and townhomes. Now, West Des Moines won't issue building permits until the four banks that took control of the development can figure out a way to keep those obligations.''
