Couldn't agree more.WSU and the hospitals are going to be trying their damndest to make their own super-campus in the next 10 years. If they spent as much money on advising students as they did trying to figure out what streetwalls to demolish for parking and greenspace, it would solve some problems.
I also agree with Hamtragedy that the neighborhoods are not getting sufficient help. There are so many cops downtown that I can't help but believe half of them could be patrolling areas that need that extra safety right now. The infrastructure in neighborhoods is crumbling fast. No one is watching, and Bing isn't even talking to city council, apparently.
Still, I think focusing most of the development and "buzz" on a hot area is inevitable, it happens in every city sometimes.
