I do admit, my comment did nothing to attest to my extreme admiration for the project. And I apologize for the pessimism -- Chad, your words were reminders that the project truly is one of the best urban revitalization efforts in the city. And I thank you for showing me a different perspective of "secrecy" and community-involvement for the private-development.

In response to the property rates and what the Pearl is doing, what I inarticulately was trying to ask is that given the Pearl's desire to have a multi-income hub, what can be done to make sure the development does not become just a string of expensive condominiums. It can't really be called gentrification just because a lot of the surrounding areas are abandoned.

And, yes, I am greatly interested in the implications of the development. I do see and accept how what I wrote earlier was not reflective of how much success the Pearl has achieved, and how much I want to see it continually achieve.
