I hope the street has hit a tipping point. Gottingen could add a lot to the city as an equally vibrant but more affordable counterpoint to Spring Garden Road.
When some of the new developments were being built I wondered if there would be demand to fill the commercial spaces but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue. I think the downtown area really was held back by bad development and bad planning and that there is now a lot of pent-up demand for housing in the area. The housing is finally getting built now and the other stuff will follow.
