I can see the homeless, the still numerous parking lots, and the new lowrise wood frame construction in person and don't need to be told about it over and over.
I come to this forum and read blogs like Brigham's and Blackcat's because I want to know the things that I can't see with my own two eyes- namely what the hood's going to be like 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years out. Its fun to imagine.
In this vein, I going to put my money where my mouth is and try to make some positive contributions to the forum. A commenter recently asked if anyone could put together some mockups of what the skyline will look like when the projects currently in the pipeline are complete. I did a lot of 3D modeling and rendering when I was studying urban planning and design, so I can help here. Going to put together something this weekend.

Congrats on the condo! I recall you mentioning that you and your wife were looking for a place Downtown a while back.
Looking forward to that skyline mock up.
