A couple of things... the redevelopment of Iberville needs to increase the unit count. Keep the public housing units, but make it a 1:3 ratio of public/affordable to market rate units. This is centrally located, and should be redeveloped very densely. I'm not even talking New York or Chicago density, but it should be dense enough to support a lively mix of businesses. That way, the retail spaces won't get taken over by businesses catering to tourists.
