From what I'm hearing the HUD agents were the lead agents, which tells me it won't reach the mayor. If it reaches the Mayor, we can kiss whatever shot we had at Amazon good bye.

I honestly think we say JHB demolished in the next 2-3 years.

Comrade Yabo say design remind him of time growing up in hometown of Chernobyl.

$10 says Maduro gets included in the initial offering.

Litecoin FTW

Building looks great. Also a tribute to our industrial past while keeping modern elements.

^Massive. Their parts will continue to be in demand and will be unaffected by automation with regards to driving.

D Don't you dare say that to Cleveland Scene!!! Don't you know that road saves 3 minutes and 27 seconds on bus-riders commutes??!!!

Don't give me ideas http://www.spymuseumstore.org/ultimate-spy-recon-kit.html?utm_source=ultimate-spy-recon-kit&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=googleproducts&gclid=CjwKCAiA9f7QBRBpEiwApLGUiu57nS5Od0dE4ep5kdBJxfyEDfrg_3uA89rwioH1c_HtFCRHHd3bNhoCNtUQAvD_BwE#.WiA5XFWnHIU And to the Pokemon Go suggestion, I legitimate peered over a shoulder and it wasn't Pokemon Go. Honestly, I've asked 2-3 times and been ignored. It's nuts.

BUMP!!! I need to know hahaha. and none of them will even acknowledge me when I walk by to ask

There’s a group of people that meet near the Hampton Inn on 9th and Superior everyday playing an app on their phones. Any idea what they’re doing?

There are a significant number of people from Central America, which compensates for our relative low Mexican population.

I agree with you OC17[/member] ... I truly believe the near East Side has ENORMOUS potential and is logistically much more convenient than Ohio City or Tremont. Herein lies the issue... overcoming the fear of DEADLY violence. When the aforementioned neighborhoods made their comebacks, violence was an issue, but murder wasn't typical. The same can't be said for the area around League Park right now, unfortunately. My apologies if this has to be moved to another thread.

Good luck, I would love another city in the state with 3 professional teams!

Still cannot get over the random, suburban style homes across the street from that

We won't know, because our exact proposal is still in darkness. Which I tend to think is a good thing. In situations where there is massive upside (even if HQ2 only brings 1/2 the employees it promises), that would grow Cleveland's workforce significantly and would be great for accounting firms, housing, banks, etc. etc. Tis better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Yeah. He is.... https://www.squirepattonboggs.com/en/professionals/n/nance-frederick-r?explore=recognitions Nonetheless this is merely a rumor at this point. What I am fairly confident in is Cleveland making the next round of cuts. But we shall see.

I have heard Fred Nance is behind the scenes on a lot of this. He's an extremely accomplished African-American male and perhaps the best example of what our city has to offer. If this is true, I believe we're going to be very well represented.

Not to be THAT GUY... but Puerto Ricans moving to Cleveland is not immigration.

The small sample size I think first of all makes it hard to get an idea if the property you're looking at is a good deal or a ripoff - a shortage like this can really drive prices up. He was just complaining about it the day before this article went up, he was showing me a unit in the building between W. 6th and W. 9th kind of behind the RTA headquarters. He's also looked at Stonebridge but I think yeah he'd just appreciate more options. I personally would argue that Stonebridge isn't even downtown - I doubt anyone who lives there walks to work or play downtown? They might Uber over on the weekends. I walk to work from 29th and Franklin and I work on E. 9th. Though my commute admittedly takes a half hour. I've heard Prospect Place is in the process of flipping to condos, though that will only add <10 units. Projects like Worthington Square, Beacon, Garfield, etc. all could have been condos. The developers could've even hung on to more than half the units if they wanted the rental income. I don't get it. That's sincerely great, but come on, you know that your neighbors aren't doing that. Most of our peers, the supposed downtown progressive yuppies who desire walkability, drive. Like the guy I met yesterday who lives on 6th and Euclid and works down by the Clinic and has never ridden the Healthline. Didn't even remember what it was called. I pressed him on it and he said he regularly travels to Boston and DC for work and walks and rides transit all the time in those cities, it's just not on his radar here in Cleveland. A lot of the downtown CLE population are people who used to live in large coastal cities and took transit all the time, are open to transit in theory, but moved back home, and have never set foot on an RTA vehicle let alone walk more than 10 blocks. I actually think I convinced this guy to try the HL, so there's hope, but it just doesn't reflect the current mindset here and most people just do what their peers do. Getting off topic, sorry. More condos please. You really weren't all that far off topic. Having viable, efficient, and recognizable public transit is a huge reason people buy homes in most major metros. But, to your first point, I actually meet up with a friend 2-3 days a week who walks from 25th Lofts.

There is a BIG difference between a "tight market" and minimal volume.

From my (limited) understanding, it is kind of a chicken or hen situation. Because developers don't want to front capital to propose a project in which they're unsure of selling out. Additionally, individual buyers might be hesitant to buy in such a limited market that might be subject to major fluctuations. You're right though. One twenty-story highrise would double the available volume downtown overnight.

That's just not true. The cities where you see large retail presence in their CBD all have significant condo presence. Just look at Pittsburgh, Portland, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Charlotte, etc. Cities like Tampa and Cleveland have been experiencing a rebirth and have very low equity in their downtowns. This is a MAJOR problem if the economy goes south or demand declines.
