Cleveland Cavs Discussion
I'm worried. However, they should have won the game in ATL today. What a horrendous display of officiating all at the end which (after blowing the 20 point lead), ultimately did the Cavs in.

Cleveland: Detroit-Shoreway / Gordon Square Arts District: Development News
Just watching everything going up in the area and wondering in terms of reuse, what is the latest status of the Westinghouse building? If empty it would seem logical to be re purposed soon?

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
I don't know why, but I remembered this post from a while back about Norwegian. Here is their announcement: Norwegian Air adds budget transatlantic flights from two U.S. airports http://www.reuters.com/article/us-norweg-air-shut-transatlantic-idUSKBN17730V?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=58e5943f04d301254556658f&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

Ohio: General Business & Economic News
The problem is "renewable" is so narrowly defined. It does not include natural gas or nuclear energy, which are the most efficient "clean" energy sources. It indeed provides a massive, and increasing, subsidy to wind and solar. So instead of amending the law to include Nuclear and Gas technology, they just trash it all together and send Ohio further back into the stone ages? Ohio continues to solidify its places as the capitol of flyover-country. Until our leaders start thinking about the future rather than trying to live in the past, the jobs and young talent will be found elsewhere.

Are their any plans to make that intersection more pedestrian friendly? It can be a brutal stretch to cross...

Cleveland: Lakefront Development and News
Frankly, I wouldn’t see the benefit if it cost 25% of what it eventually would. Look at it on a map, that’s the spot where the waves hit so hard even during moderate storms that they get all over the freeway. To benefit from this new shoreline, you’d need a new breakwall. For starters. Plus, unless you’re going to run this new freeway straight through Gordon Park, you don’t really make the highway any smoother. I drive by this four or five times a week. Best use would be an apartment/office complex with a parking deck on the lower floors and a sound wall in front of that. Once you get up to the third or fourth floor it is basically lake view property just the same as if you built right on it. Tunnel under the Shoreway in that area and it’s still connected. An apartment/office complex the way you describe doesn't address one of our most glaring needs -- to be in better actual, physical connection with the waterfront. Tunnels and bridges technically do funnel people, but seem a much inferior option to the admittedly optimistic "B" proposals in the article. Maybe this could be the first phase of capping the Shoreway?

Another Dumb-a$$ List / Ranking of Cities
While I wasn't directing the comment at a detailed ZIP code localized analysis, I get where you're coming from. My comment was directed at the average deep red state Trump voter views New York and California as "Socialist Republics" that should just leave secede from the union. Meanwhile the wealthiest people in the US all live in these havens.

Cleveland: Population Trends
I don't doubt this--but I don't see how it adds up to 86% of our population loss. How many of your family and those many Catholic kids have moved away?
-
Cleveland: Population Trends
I'm interested in how they arrived at this statistic. In my own family, I am THE last one here--everyone else has moved away in the last 20 years. My parents, sister, brother and ALL my aunts and uncles have all left Cleveland for either the Sunbelt or West Coast. Additionally, many of my good friends from school and my college years are also gone--to Dallas, Nashville, etc.

Cleveland: Population Trends
I don't see it with Lakeview Terrace right there. It's not that it's low-income subsidized, it's predominantly many-generations such, which seems to result in the highest crime, resentment, and blight levels. It's like a different world when you pass through that "tunnel" where 25th meets Main and passes under the Shoreway. But it's a short walk. Lakeview is also a high-density community that would benefit from the transit access on that corner. If you build enough moderate/high-income housing around it, the problems will lessen as there will be man eyes and ears on the streets. But it would take time for people to move in and there would likely be incidents that might stymie that migration. I just don't see it as feasible at this point. I'm not following. There's already a brand new project going up on the NW corner. Not sure of the vacancies, but I imagine like other new construction in the area it is renting out quickly. There are already several buildings just to the west of there that have been rented for years (and yes, dealing with the problems of urban America). A larger project on the SE corner would create a much more lively environment.

IMO the best chance we have for that now is in the W 25th/Detroit Ave area. Slim down that intersection, build out some density and link it to the transit system, perhaps by re-opening the lower deck on the D-S bridge.

Cleveland: Population Trends
Actually now that I review my notes--I already had this number. I am actually on the hunt for HISTORICAL numbers. How many did the city employ in 2000, 1990, 1980, etc.

Cleveland: Population Trends
Cleveland is almost impossible to manage in it's current state of infrastructure. With almost 2/3 of the population gone from 1950, and thousands of job losses in the inter-city, the current tax revenue base can't support a city that was built for 1 million plus residents with an economy that at one point was going gang-busters. We almost need to vacate neighborhoods, shut down sewers, abandon roads and turn off street lights in order to retain money to be put back into "still-stable" neighborhoods, and help those thrive. Places like Old Brooklyn, UC, Harvard Lee, Westpark and Nottingham are losing out on city spending that is going to places like Woodhill, South Fairfax, etc. Does anyone know how many people the city currently employs? I can't seem to find online anywhere.
