  1. I mean to support a market or vendors space. If you're going to go that route there'd have to be a financial case. And to use the building for anything there'd have to be remediation I suspect.
  2. Here's some pics of the back and side of the Sprouts building.
  3. I love the idea but I'm not sure it's feasible. Where would the funding come from? Is the space in a prominent enough location? Is there enough density to support it? These things could be investigated further but my gut reaction is: there is none, no, and no. I'm willing to be convinced though haha. It does remind me of the adaptive reuse pictured here in Philly, which I absolutely love.
  4. Northside Scholar House. Corner of Knowlton and Dane. 45 to 55 affordable units for single parents who are enrolled in school. Day care will be open to the general public.
  5. New renderings for the Ace Doran development at the corner of Hamilton and Blue Rock.
  6. The design for 3924 Cherry has been updated after community input. It's a heck of a lot better in my opinion. Attached the old drawing here too, for reference.
  7. This is what is confusing about the PG situation. He basically supported all new development. And he was pushing for several reforms that would've made it easier to develop and would've taken power away from council/the administration to pick and choose developments that happen. Those positions don't really line up with his alleged behavior.
  8. I was just pointing out that he was a big proponent of that reform, so the change might be slowed unless someone else takes up the mantle.
  9. PG was a leading proponent of removing density limits and he gone.
  10. It's a good launch video.
  11. Those Census tracts north of Liberty have seen some of the largest population declines in the entire city for this decade, as people have bought up properties and sat on them. As more and more units come online, that's going to change. For the 2020 to 2030 decade they'll probably be among the fastest growing tracts.

    They're not very smart. Ranting about how he wants to leave because everybody in California is on government assistance. California ranks 33rd for percentage of the population on government assistance. Texas is 20th. Florida is 15th. That doesn't even include social security. I'm sure Florida would rank number one in that category.
  13. Any more details about what they wanted to do in Northside?
  14. Oh for sure. Not saying it's smart, just the rationale I think they are using haha. But it looks like COVID helped make the decision easier.
  15. I think it has more to do with the limits. If the big cities are only allowed a couple of them it makes it hard to choose. A place like Hamilton only really has one place that makes sense, but Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland have a bunch of neighborhoods that want it so it makes it harder to choose. Somebody is going to be mad.
  16. Right, we have constraints they don't have. But making Vine Street two way and having a linear line up and down Vine would've been a lot simpler than have the north and south directions run on two different streets. I guess there's an argument to be made that it spreads out the new development, but I think it also confuses tourists who might not be familiar with the city.
  17. Interesting conversation. FWIW, none of my friends from Cuyahoga County would ever say "Northeast Ohio" when asked where they are from. They all say Cleveland. I'm talking people in their 20s and 30s. But I think regional identifiers are pretty common. Greater Philly is the "Delaware Valley" to locals. Greater DC is the "DMV." Cincinnatians often just use "Tri-State," which is, of course, also used by New Yorkers. And southern Delaware, eastern shore Maryland, and eastern shore Virginia make up "Delmarva." None of those places seem to care too much about the brand. I'm not sure that I believe it matters too much.
  18. Weird, I don't know then! Maybe somebody else here has a theory?
  19. That tract has John Carroll University in it. Could that be the reason for the growth? Tracts can change every ten years when there is a decennial census. But they shouldn't have changed in the middle of the decade.
  20. Oops. Thanks for the correction!
  21. You can type the tract number into censusreporter.com and see them all. Just add a period before any that end in 01, 02, etc. So 114501 becomes 1145.01, but 1162 stays 1162. Search query should be like "tract 1145.01, cuyahoga, oh" Here's the first one: CORRECTION: It is Censusreporter.org. Thanks to @cle_guy90
  22. This is often overlooked when comparing our system to Kansas City. It is always pointed out that Cincinnati's line is longer (for now). That is true in the sense that we have more track length (3.6 miles vs. 2.2 miles). But KC's system is linear. Walking end to end is 1.9 miles. Walking from Rhinegeist to the Banks is 1.7 miles. So we have more track, but our line is actually shorter. We could've made Vine Street two-way and run the streetcar from Findlay and Vine to Second and Vine and it would've only been 1.3 miles and been just as effective. Roughly the same amount of track length that we currently have could've taken us up as far as Clifton Gaslight, or created a Northern Kentucky loop that incorporated Covington and Newport.
  23. So, for example, a cop making $70k this year will be making $79k after the raises.

    Lol they are a band, and they still exist. Why the past tense?
