If they could rework this to be more appealing to young professionals MAYBE I could support it; even then, it would still be too far from downtown or The Strip to support that kind of population.
I'm scared we're getting into a situation where developers are starting to realize students want to be downtown or on The Strip even while enormous developments are growing far enough away to be commuter communities. If this kind of ball keeps rolling, apt communities further than a mile from campus will legitimately turn into "ghost complexes".
Unless developers start to build their communities for a more broad demographic, we're going to start getting what Mayor Maddox is so afraid of.
Progress for the sake progress isn't progress at all.
