The Domain is Private Property.

I also believe that ALL of the Domain...including the roads, is private property owned by only one or two entities. It is not possible to buy any land and build. One must lease the land from Simon Property Group and the Endeavor Real Estate Group according to their rules and site master plan. The Domain is a Master Planned Community…wholly owned.

In order to have "a second downtown" it is essential to have a network of PUBLIC roads, with walkable sized blocks, and a variety of land owners who are not controlled by a singular corporation. The Domain has neither and will never be anything but a suburban, automobile based, master planned community. This may sound harsh, however, a downtown is a center for the community to come and congregate in the realm of public/private partnership. The Domain is private, private, private!

If I am wrong about The Domain being completely private property…Please enlighten me.
