^^^Yep! People on the Austin forum were so excited when Rainey was zoned CBD 14 years ago, and there was little, if any, support on the local forum for retaining the existing housing stock. I was one of the few people who predicted that the modest bungalows might have a shot as neighborhood amenities like corner stores or a coffee house. I never imagined the explosion of night life on the street. Nobody did. I just hoped a few of the houses might survive in some form in order to give the street a bit of character as it was redeveloped.
