  1. What all these communities around the country need is a whole lot of new brick-and-mortar retail stores, even as thousands of retailers close their stores because of the great migration of shoppers to online sites.
    NOT!
    These "projects" are just a way for the land flippers, developers, developer attorneys, and construction firms to make a fast transactional buck and walk away from these buildings in communities as the leasees to go belly up, abandon them, and leave brand new derelicts in people's neighborhoods.
    An empty new building is even worse than an abandoned old one.
    It just shows that local government has made THE SAME mistake twice.
    How about fixing the roads?

  3. Agree...stop the overbuilding. Look at the Best Buy building at the Legends...still huge and still empty. City wants to allow rezoning everywhere up North. City's response - it's market demand. Wow...worst response I have ever received. How many stores and apartments do we need? Keep some trees and cows!
