Sad but true. West Camelback has been hurt more than helped by light rail. The Park Lee shopping plaza down the street is missing its anchor, and previously viable businesses have become thrift stores. LA Fitness is a boon to an area that looked washed over by blight.
If and when light rail really begins to magnetize greater population density along its path, the owners of that shopping center might want to revisit their land-use decision. But as it stands now, this is probably the best-possible outcome.
