Remember: Buy low and sell high.<br /><br />Do you consider multiple TD banks amenities? I prefer wide open parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, or family things to do like bowling or skating.

Small sacrifice to put up with construction for a nicer place to live, more amenities, increasing my property value, a better view out my condo window, less crime, more people/lively, shops that stick around, and much more that I'm happy for.

Lots of reasons we need more housing and density.<br /><br />Look at all of these failing businesses, big and small - they need more people living here to shop there and support them.<br /><br />As more people move into the area, the further away housing is from the jobs or mass transit it just puts more strain on the road system and creates worse commutes.<br /><br />More housing will help apply downward pressure (or at least slow down) this hyper growth in housing prices due to desirability here and extremely low inventory. <br /><br />All IMHO. But can you help explain your position? I would like to better understand your perspective.

They favor their developer friends over the voices of the citizen groups. They will be dealt with soon enough.

This renovation seems quite lacking. <br /><br />Karr designs are underwhelming and don't add a whole lot other than raised costs.<br /><br />There are so many vacancies in Woodmont Triangle now. A refreshed face will drive up rents and many of the new nicer higher prices spaces have high amounts of turnover of vacancies (see other Karr or Greenhill projects).<br /><br />It drives up the price of the property so any developer seeking assemblage or looking to build higher density is going to face higher prices and barriers to entry.<br /><br />We need more density and housing this close to the metro!Andrea Linoreply@blogger.com
