The more I consider the possibilities, the less highrise construction I want to see here. I think I could handle tall buildings along the edges though and leave the center green and park like. Shoot, I'm even thinking a zoo would be cool here.

I agree with what you are saying and think overall that is the way the city envisions the area with most of the highrises along the edges. In fact if you look at the rendering of the ideal future of Downtown you can clearly see Rainy street as almost a park surrounded by highrises which I think would be awesome. Make Rainey a green pedestrian based thoroughfare or maybe a even a one way street with no parking and wide sidewalks. There is a zoomed in view of the southeast quadrant floating around if somebody would be kind enough to post it since my computer has been acting up been on here using my phone.
By the way as I was just looking for above mentioned rendering I found a map of the Rainey Street District that shows the main stretch a historical landmark district which means nobody has to worry about all those houses disappearing. Yay
