That's really cool, I'd never heard of that! In that case, I would really like to see that program replicated in Cincinnati.

Exactly, the people benefiting from affordable housing typically don't have enough savings to buy a unit - affordable or not

I hate this argument. Was there even a proposed project in EWH? Why can't we do both? Why does it have to be one or the other? We need more affordable housing EVERYWHERE.

Agreed, when the project was first announced it seemed very hyped up. This is still really nice but I do wish we could have gotten more

lmao of course

https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/jul-17-2020-packet-1-of-2/ If anyone wants some quality entertainment, the nimby emails & comments about some new houses on Colerain begin on page 35

But isnt that a huge point of the article? That none of these areas worked together, and instead fought each other for everything they had, meaning they all tried to do different things? If the municipalities had joined together, maybe the area would have developed differently, and there would have been a central business district, as well as economic & social diversity.

Thats great looking. I'd love to see downtown Cincy implement better cycling infrastructure downtown.

absolutely classic, I expect nothing less

They look really nice! I love all the brickwork!

anyone have pictures?

Yeah not to be a pessimist, but we are firmly at the bottom of that list imo

This is so cool! When was the last time someone on city council spoke out in support of light rail? I legitimately cant remember hearing someone speak up about this

Arent they planning on building a real path to connect them eventually? Or am I thinking of something else?

the lack of sidewalks on most of red bank kill me

I agree with this. Pittsburgh seems to have fewer, but much denser/larger neighborhoods, whereas cincy has tons of smaller ones.

Agreed, I moved to Pittsburgh a little while ago and its blown me away how much larger the business districts are. Even just for areas like East Liberty there really isnt anything comparable in cincinnati.

I'm not complaining. This city has a severe lack of good retail spaces anyways, so I'm glad a developer is willing to give it a shot. Better than being completely abandoned as it was before.

its just a little weird, not really awful but it seems very mishmashed

Why fake grass?? It looks so bad...

considering that the oakley square area as a whole still kind of sucks, I'd personally be advocating for more large scale development & growth but to each their own

that thread is depressing

oh I really like the street level of that, it looks pretty cool.

Yeah I just moved to Pittsburgh. The city as a whole is so much denser, I was honestly caught off guard because everyone talks about how similar the two cities are, but Pittsburgh has much more "east coast" density to it once you get out of downtown.

I was thinking the same thing, glad someone else noticed lol
