Meh, there's tons of surface lots in CC to be developed still. Wish we could be more like Western Europe and manage to balance both a healthy respect for historic preservation with sound planning. Obviously it can be done there while still resulting in much more livable cities. I don't really get all the preservation critiquing on here, the historic built environment it's what sets our city apart from much of the country.

I agree to a point but then the historic commission tries to stop something being built on a totally blah building.

Someone tried to designate that piece of shit parking garage at the other end of this block historic. The whole process is ridiculous.

You mean limit growth and artificially increase housing prices by forcing everyone to live in dense urban areas. And then convincing people that four story apartment buildings are good for you and you'll like sharing all your spaces with everyone learn to share learn to share all the time share everything....
