We get it, you really like it, you’re the first to cheer or jeer a residential project if it does or doesn’t have retail. But again, non of us nor any average San Antonian is developing these projects. There’s no need to beat the dead horse over something none of us have control over.
You want ground floor retail in an urban residential development, take a loan out, find investors. Build what you want yourself, otherwise we’re all here just commentating on developments we have zero control over.
Basically, there’s no need to generalize or try and speak for an entire populace over something they have no control over.

Are you absolutely positive that nobody reading these threads has any sway over the design of a project in San Antonio, or that they won't in the future, or that they don't ever talk to somebody who does? If so, please explain.
