In the big scheme of things the developers seem to be aiming in the right direction and not doing the typical development found here with a Target (or Wal-Mart) anchored center with a Kohl's, sporting goods and mattress stores. For that, they should be given a lot of credit. It is too bad that Town Madison has not taken this approach. |
Santana Row used to be the very high end but now its full of places on par with H&M.. Even in the south bay, the very, very high end could not survive and it has, within 2 mile radius, some of the highest median incomes in the country. I agree that developers and the city are trying.. since i came here two years ago, I have seen a shift in some for this kind of development. The mayor (as much as some people seem to hate him), the downtown Huntsville, inc CEO and the city development team..
