Wasn't a joke. I thought you were implying the mall was pretty much dead. The thing I hate most about shopping are the parking, crowds & slow people who don't know what they want. Get in, get out, get it done, get it over with is my philosophy.

Grasscat, I had similar concerns. I think hard wiring the houses with Ethernet & wiring the neighborhood are definitely worthwhile. But I do think the rest of the technology would be considered disposable from a housing lifespan point of view. Glad to join. I know where to get decent urban/development info. P.S. Thanks for the tip on Northgate Mall. I hate crowds & lines.

You guys are a little more knowledgable about city planning & housing development. So what is your take on the group Cincinnati Change or the subsidiary Queen City Development Group? We have a thread going on at the CT website with one of their members http://www.cincinnatitomorrow.com/bb-topic-311.html This is the website they are directing people to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cincityichange/ which also links to: http://www.geocities.com/cincinnatichange2010/NOW.html Not a lot of information. I did some additional digging around and was able to dig up a more informative link: http://byoaus.us/cincityichange.htm The Queen City Development Group subsidiary they have created is not the same as the one owned by Bugg Properties in North Carolina, even though Bugg Properties has already trade marked the name.
