I was at the meeting Saturday morning. Very interesting stuff. They had a few renderings of a future downtown with every block filled in with example buildings, based on the height they could be given view corridor limits. I'll have to see if I can find those online.

The comments on the article, discounting the usual idiotic drivel, almost all point out the homeless problem on the east side of downtown. We brought that up at the meeting, too, but they didn't seem to have much in the way of answers. It's the huge elephant in the room. You cannot make a "world-class destination" when all the homeless services are just a block or 2 away.

Having said that, personally I don't think it's really that bad. Of course I may be used to it, having lived in that area for 18 months now, but evidently it's a huge deal for a lot of people.
