At least there's finally a Trader Joe's. Developers were so greedy that they just built luxury condos after luxury condos without any regard for the basic things people need when they actually live somewhere: a grocery store, dry cleaners, CVS, etc. The neglect of simple conveniences or the assumption that these people are so wealthy, they can just have anything they need delivered, is what I mean. A neighborhood is more than just condos and restaurants.

Totally agree. Even some unique sandwich shops or delis (can be fancy idc) just to break it up a bit would go a long way.

I say I don't know anyone who lives there but I actually did up until about four years ago. He finally moved when they wanted to practically double his rent. He said his biggest complaint was no grocery store. He worked downtown and had to get all of his groceries from the Roche Bros. after work and bring them home. The Trader Joe's came in around the same time he moved out.
