I think projects like the rio grande plan will go a long way toward helping that.
Maybe when we're about to check out in 40 years.

But it seems unlikely we'll see a true connected area in our lifetime.

It can still be an interesting entertainment area. I do worry it will directly compete with downtown, tho.
