No, I think it's a business in some form or another.

If anyone is connected with them (@IanO maybe), send them this thread. Maybe they will change something. That said, its a bit of hopium I think.

Doesn't the city have a design committee that was setup to filter the crap proposals from developers?

Maybe consider volunteering, with some of your improved project renders as a portfolio.

You've shown how few changes it would take to turn this project from a work camp look to something that would much better suit the area and era. It'd be great to see that filter applied to many more projects going forward.

EDC is an advisory committee and while DOs often require changes as a result of their recommendations, they are suggestions more than anything. A good committee to have (as long as they stay in their lane) and one that should have more teeth IMO.

You do realize that critical mass builds upon itself and that having more projects and more people living in an area makes it more desirable to continue developing in said area.

Clairview apartment hellscape says otherwise.

Excavator is hard at work today, safe to say we can file this as a project under construction now
