As to the question of whether or not the Domain is truly going to be an urban center (as opposed to a "flubbed...urbanist thing" as We vs Us so aptly put it) I think the area is still salvageable. I think it's just going to take a lot of intentionality moving forward. If the developments continue to be built with an inward focus rather than seeing how they can connect more broadly to the greater neighborhood, I'd agree that it won't happen.

I have a question for you folks who understand the city codes and plans moving forward...perhaps Novacek or someone else can enlighten me and others. Is there any sort of plan to create more of a true grid in the future? For instance, there are so many random streets that lack any sense of planning or foresight, which leads to some of the disconnected feeling, in my opinion. Also, as the area develops, I'd have to wonder if some of the simple, one-story buildings will be replaced in the future. I've always been curious as to whether or not a true "second downtown" in the urban sense could/would ever be achievable in this area, but those are some barriers I see to that happening. Thoughts?
