^ I've heard it straight from the horses mouth. I'm sure if someone wanted to buy/lease one of his buildings and do residential, he wouldn't turn away their money. When the Lofts on Buchanan (or whatever they're called) was starting to go through the process it was quite vocal about a distaste for residential in the area.

I think his vision is some kind of high tech employment hub with lots more stuff like WebPT and nightlife uses. Perhaps his fear is residential would complain about nightlife noise, though I'd like to imagine the people living in that area would be self selecting enough to not be worried about the noise. Though I suppose we have heard of residents complaining about noise in downtown Scottsdale, so anything is possible.
