I don't feel the periphery of Republic Square is being fully realized. A single vacant parcel remains, that of the demolished Fox and Hound. Will that really be a hotel or might this trend of evacuating people from the area after dark continue? Is it feasible to build office or residential on top of the adjacent state parking garage, despite the central chiller facility?
Not only Republic Square, but the surrounding residential buildings too. I live at 360, and my friends car was just broken into tonight on the 7th floor (even through security). We've had a notorious bike thief, and a hate crime all on one street....4th. I think if you add a giant county courthouse, this will only create more opportunities for crime. Don't get me wrong, I still feel pretty safe alone at night, but something has got to be done about future developments.
