I'm glad Cincinnati is seeing a good amount of downtown revitalization, but so is every other city that you just bashed and called......"copycats"? Just because Cincinnati is seeing some nice towers going up doesn't mean its Midwestern peer cities will not. Cities just develop differently. Here in St. Louis we still have about a dozen or so historic buildings, the size of a city block, with redevelopment plans lined up waiting for funding. We also have one of the strongest rental markets in the Midwest right now. I'm sure when they get filled up we will see similar projects and will that makes us copycats? That's as weird as me saying that Cincinnati is a copycat and not the real deal, because St. Louis built its light rail 20 years ago and Cincinnati is just getting a streetcar....see how stupid that is?
