Well, as much as a bunch of 12 story buildings would be nice, I doubt that that'll ever happen here.

I'd also fuck around with Hancock Center, use eminent domain and build the streetcar right through the middle and then use that as a neighborhood center redevelopment opportunity a la north Austin's answer to Lamar Union with a nice plaza integrated into a rail stop in the middle.
