Well that knockoff competitor is just going to abandon the project years later.

The company behind New Orleans' unfinished Drive Shack golf-entertainment complex at the site of the former Times-Picayune building is now considering walking away from the flailing project, leaving potentially millions of dollars in unpaid construction bills in limbo along with a crumbling eyesore along Interstate 10.
Illegally dumped tires and graffiti now cover parts of the construction site on Howard Avenue that was once touted by city and state officials as an bringing 350 permanent jobs to the area.

In 2019, Drive Shack rival Topgolf International had quietly pursued a deal with Convention Center leaders to build one of its outlets in the $1 billion "entertainment district" planned for the center's upriver acres.
However, the Topgolf project was shelved amid complaints from the owners of the Drive Shack project, which had the backing of local politicians and Gov. John Bel Edwards.

Millions in construction? Let me translate that for you. MILLIONS IN PAYOFFS TO POLITICIANS BILLED AS CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
Here's the thing. The people who took the payoffs don't care because the people who payed them can't turn them in without implicating themselves.
