I totally agree that Rabbittown could be developed into a more urban community. It would actually be a nice little place to live - there are currently a few decent areas in that area but for the most part I believe it needs some upkeep/new development. And again- it's practically downtown and within walking distance from everything.
I believe the same could be said for Southside Road in many areas and places surrounding Memorial University - to name a few.
Clearly the city is showing some pretty desperate signs of urban sprawl but I believe we have an opportunity to combat against this (possibly make it easier for developers to design within the city as oppose to creating new subdivisions - however one does this).
Is it just easier and cheeper for developers to build in terms of subdivisions? Like off Kenmount Road?!
