And that's why this kind of talk ends up being wankery "but what about the quarry" "that park is huge" "the hills are really steep" "huge abandoned industrial site" "flood plain"

As long as we let Amazon and other techs lose all the money they want while demanding B&Ms turn a profit there are going to be problems in retail that people are going to try to fix with other means.

I'll take half as much density if it's paired with thriving businesses and minimal couchlock.

Charlotte's river is way off to the side.

Not 3-5 years -- 20 years.

If it's the Statehouse that's going to hurt Columbus in the 1-mile.

I'd say Minneapolis deserves that more

Can we try to guess the special guest?

I mean, a lot of things people on there say are stupid after they shut down the forum and went to comment-only. Maybe he shouldn't talk down to them but I'd find it hard to resist as well.

I own a store at this end of the mall. Unfortunately we can't stick around to see what happens since the physical video game industry is in such bad shape.

People are already bent out of shape that the oldest functioning McDonald's is like the 10th one ever built. Though I think even that one closed a year or two ago so now it's like the 15th.

Oh man, sounds like a Russian tracksuit ploy designed to show how easily it is to spread old wives' tales through Facebook now.

I'm sure the cost of adding bathrooms was used as justification for lots of demo at the time.

Switching to a straight land tax rather than the land+improvements tax we have now would change that and lead to taller developments.

Land has to be expensive enough to make the numbers not work for 3-5 story developments. That's not true and won't be for a while until more 3-5 story projects are completed. Until the numbers don't work they will be supplied.

^A lot of them don't understand BRT because many BRT advocates are way more anti-rail than pro-BRT. They're not even in favor of Real BRT since Real BRT can actually be effective. No they just want sharrows, fewer, slightly nicer stations and no signal priority to make sure it still takes poor people 4X as long to accomplish anything and that there's no economic development.

It's unlikely since the company he worked for is no longer involved with the retail aspect of the development.

There are almost no national retail tenants expanding right now. The ones that are already have locations here, are expanding on a very limited basis or are stuff like Ollie's.

Public sector websites -- always winners. ?

Ah, no road frontage requirements which Ohio loves.
