I see no point in punishing those who open and run businesses on that property. They aren't the ones who decided to sell the drive-in.
Maybe so, but investing in property that has this amount of animosity swirling around it doesn't sound like a sound investment to me. There are plenty of other vacant properties that would live to have tenants.
Besides, these prospective business owners are being forewarned, if they ignore these warnings, whose truly to blame.
In addition; by providing revenue for these, likely, commercial tenants is providing revenue for the weasel (Hogan) who refuses to cooperate with the owner of the drive in. It is totally within his power to reach an agreement and save himself from all this hostility.
Hogan is, to paraphrase a line I once heard, "just a squirrel trying to get a nut". Neither him, nor any of his tenants will be getting any from me. Unless, of course, the drive in remains part of the overall picture.
