I have an uncle who has owned a piece of land on Mackinac for going on 10 years. It's not even in his top 10 of priorities, but he still hasn't started construction. The fact that 99% of construction vehicles are looked down upon makes it very difficult to line up all the subcontractors you need, not to mention the permitting process is super long and involved. Getting things built either takes a lot of money and some connections, or a very long wait while you get things in order.
