[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 pages in, I'm convinced that 50 years from now most of Ward 3 will have really lost its cachet. I agree that the new architecture is unimaginative, but people fail to realize that it is so precisely because of all the NIMBYism, pushback about even minor changes, etc. Developments in other parts of the city just feel much more modern and interesting because developers know their investment in an idea is more likely to come to fruition without fighting frivolous lawsuits or other stalling tactics. Upper northwest will increasingly just look worse in comparison, and eventually people will realize it's no longer worth the premium.[/quote] The premium for Upper Northwest is its tree filled neighborhoods and schools. Mess with either of those two things and the magic dies. People move up there to start a family and settle down. They're not looking for the vibrant nightlife. They like that it gets dark at night.[/quote]
