Disappointing to see how the site has gone, but it has to be said that part of the deal was that the site would be cleared and developed after the festival ended. They just didn't say how long it would be between the two happening.
A lot of the construction was surface only, and sadly wouldn't have lasted more that a few years if it had been left in place. I remember haunting Brand St. afterwards, where the had their 'build and break' maintenance area for the site, and watching the stuff being dispersed for months after the closure.
