Still, always nice to celebrate the projects that got it right.
100% agree. And the fact that the developers for all the projects in the immediate area are all Bosa subsidiaries should theoretically have meant much more integrated planning for the area, but instead we're still left with a hodge-podge. Mind you, very high quality hodge-podge, but it's still a massive wasted opportunity. But hopefully the redevelopment of Brentwood Mall will be so spectacular that we forget about all of this
