I've lived downtown for 7-8 years and I've got to say it's gotten drastically worse in my time there.
Hopefully we see things start to change. Regarding all the projects, yeah lots won't go through. However, I do believe that a certain percentage of them going through help spur the others toward happening as well. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I've got to cling to at least a bit of hope!
I've always said our issue with downtown is we don't have the density for the proper services. We don't have the amenities to make living downtown attractive and we don't have the density downtown for the amenities. It's an ongoing cycle and someone has got to go first.
I think the Baydo towers are a good first step. When they finally finish in 2065 there will be 500-1000 more people on the block. Maybe that will spur more development of amenities nearby, which will in turn hopefully spur more residential. We'll see.
