[quote=Anonymous]Why is it a bad thing to suggest and encourage community leaders and business owners should do what they can to take pride in their neighborhood and fix things up? As with any property, regular maintenance goes a long way towards maintaining healthy structures vs waiting for them to rot and completely fall apart before you do anything about it. It costs less also. The businesses that are struggling are often doing so because they lack customers. You often lack customers because there is a better option somewhere else (even if you have to drive farther away). I have seen rundown business districts in DC change dramatically with improved streetscapes and new options. This does not mean they have to lose their character. Look at Capitol Hill, 14th and U Streets, downtown DC, etc. Comparing ourselves to Georgia Ave and making that the standard for when we finally decide to make improvements should not be the answer.[/quote]
