I think the compromise of requiring the historic facades and setbacks from the facades is a good way to not lose history while also turning Dirty 6th into something approaching usefulness.
I think the whole focus on small buildings and maintaining sightlines to the capitol building is stupid, honestly. If we want downtown to support a big city’s level of people (and not be a dead zone), we have to build it up like an actual city.
At first I wasn’t sure about it, but it’s only a two block stretch that’s currently full of empty buildings. I think redevelopment could help that area
What’s the general opinion here? I’m okay with tall things but are we angry about any change on 6th specifically?
