What it becomes will set the tone for what Broadway becomes.
Too often you guys welcome ANY development as good development. You're not considering that 5 or 10 years from now Broadway could easily be a street with beautiful architecture, but filled with stores that scream suburbia. How can some of you not grasp this?  |
Downtown will be a mix of national and independent. Speaking personally, its not that I'm not grasping what you're pointing out, its just that I don't see it as a crisis. Manhattan is filled with national chains.
And independent boutiques. There is plenty of room for both there. Its still the city that we judge all other cities by. DTLA will develop similarly. There's going to be a lot of chains. And there will also be a lot of shops that you can't find other places. I welcome both.
