If watched most of the video, and it simply looks like a puff piece to help this guy sell his lot. I don't see why something good couldn't come from this, but you kind of portrayed it as if there was already plans for the site. BTW, plenty of stuff is happening out of downtown. I'd posted not too long ago of a mixed-use building going up way out Mack. This isn't the stuff you're generally going to be hearing about, though.
I think some folks have this view that nothing is happening in the out-city, when I'd argue that
most redevelopment happening is happening in the out-city, though, on a far smaller scale. And really, this is how it should be given that the out-city is the vast majority of the city, of course. I mean, one of the biggest untold development stories in the entire city is the revitalization of the apartment buildings around Palmer Park.
