Reading through these comments and ideas is satisfying, if only because I am reminded I am not alone in my frustration. Yet I am slightly alarmed at some of the proposed ideas for remedy. As a third gen native and long time hopeful for a legitimate urban core I am for most anything that speeds the process. As an investor on Roosevelt, having tied up every dime of mine and many of my like minded partners, to build the kind of sustainable low rise high density mixed use you so rightly point to, I ask, how could anything have been built succesfully here in the last 5 years. I think there is some Armchair QBing here.
