No thanks…this city already has a terminal case of prolonged adolescence. There is not one adult oriented radio station in this so called great city that we have built. I do give credit to the classical music station, a godsend when I drive.

Marcus and Quincy: You guys seem to dislike condos, and I presume you’re not particularly fond of suburbs, so where exactly do you think people should live? I’m guessing you’re not anti-apartment, but for some reason it’s a bad thing when people own apartments? It’s very confusing.
More condos means more density which means a more bikeable city. I can’t understand why anyone who reads or writes for this blog would be against them.

Natrius,
I think you’ve misunderstood my point of view. I’m not anti-condo, actually. In fact, I’m quite a new urbanist. That doesn’t mean I don’t understand, acknowledge and respect those who feel differently. While I am generally very much in favor of our urbanization, I can also see there are difficulties in keeping our city’s character and not becoming a ‘luxury-only’ genericland, among other things.
We need to take more than one viewpoint into account here, and that’s why I was leaving the interpretation of this news open to discussion, not making a declaration one way or another.
