Reply to comment by HappyArtichoke7729 in About Hamilton Park stop signs by helloder27

Are you saying we should bulldoze the park? Or the buildings in the historic district that surround it?

I didn't say anything about bulldoze.

I see all the time in JC where they take an old building down, leave its facade, and build a much taller building using the same front of the old building.

We need lower housing prices, and for that we need more housing.

Hey, I agree on the need for more housing!

There has already been some adaptive re-use of old buildings in that neighborhood to add density, and I’d love to see more of that.

The new developments north & west of HP seem to be more car-oriented than transit-oriented (close to 1 parking spot for each unit). I’m not keen on having all those additional cars & car-dependent people in the mix in JC. I’d rather keep seeing more development in places that people will walk to transit.
