Well, the ambiguous idea does have some merit... And could underscore just how insane the guy really is. I mean, really, check this out:
-Trick city council into permitting project to go forth
-Turn Downtown into Unreal Estate
-Hold citizens hostage until stable orbit is achieved
-?????????
-PROFIT!!!
And that'd be how his mentality could be working. He just thinks it'd be something awesome to do, and nevermind any of the consequences (both positive and negative). This will suitably trigger a collective WTF of Biblical proportions from the Danes with the Fen stuck doing epic facepalm combos.
As for replacing the unreal estate....
AH-HA-HA-HAH-HAH-HA-no.

Think about it. A one-half mile deep divot in an artesian aquifer that covers more geographic area area than most States in the USA do. The water pressure on this bad boy is enough that basketball size boulders being blasted twenty feet skywards is expected when a new well is dug. Even with handwavium, the Fen are gonna be hard pressed just to cap that monster off - and that only to keep the aquifer from hemorrhaging.
