Gregory's Server@AbandonedAmerica you're not wrong. But neighborhood oriented development can be led in two or three ways: residential infill (have done) retail / mixed use infill (have done) transit oriented development (like Portland/ Seattle, but you have to get people to get over their hatred of buses first). And then, don't call it a mall.

@AbandonedAmerica Transit Oriented Development, in the NW: they restricted development to low and mid rise, and had to be located along transit lines, with parking located away from streets and emphasizing bikes. Residential development boomed, commercial followed, and the areas along transit lines were like a Sim City test site. So like all of us urbanists always said, people LIKE transit, density and living next to other people and maybe don't need McMansions. |
@zombierottenmcdonald I honestly am unfamiliar with those terms but am fascinated by your take on it. I did my homework for why this place failed but it's no substitute for knowledge of the field.
