North Hill Development

[Surrealplaces]

That's 100% exactly what I would envision for 20th. I think you might be right about the pushback for 20th. Centre Street would probably be different given that the houses along the street are almost all businesses at the moment.

Not a huge fan of fake old, but if need be maybe this

Maybe, we could bump it up to this, hard to say

I think they key is to not make it seem like it's the first step to turning the area into the 2nd Beltline.

I suspect, and perhaps I'll get a better idea tonight, that since the area is sort of the transition zone between innercity and suburbia, that people feel they have the best of both worlds (close to innercity, perks of quiet suburbia). Therefore they probably wouldn't see what density would do for them. Density on 16th or Centre bringing shops and restaurants, sure that brings obviously perks. Twice as many people living on 20th (with perhaps twice as many vehicles requiring parking)? not so obvious benefit for existing residents.
