I’d still like to have a word with the developer who built a pretty expensive mixed use apartment and restaurant artisan district right across the street from a notoriously dangerous public housing complex.

This is good urban development (public housing complexes generally are not), but I can imagine tensions in the short term.

It’s super generic. I personally hate it.

I’m not sure the styling is good, but mixed use development is definitely smarter.

But too much of it can result in overpopulation and congestion.

That just means you need better transit.

I don’t know about the location, but among the places I have lived, my favorite was a condo in a mixed-use complex in the downtown of a smaller city within a larger metro area. I could walk most places I wanted to go, had a great parking garage, and all my neighbors were really nice retirees (It was functionally a 65+ community without age restrictions. I was their token youngster. It was like having 94 sets of grandparents.).
