I don't think that people should give up on development in downtown Halifax. Halifax can still encourage residential projects in areas such as the Cogswell Interchange.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Trillium, YMCA, library, Shannex, The Alexander, Hollis and Morris, are all built.

I think downtown will naturally pull itself out of its current situation, but the Nova Centre would boost that revitalization.
