Just like the folks moving into Alberta Ave now, people choosing to live in the downtown area are riding the wave of all the work over the past 10 years

The 90's were twenty years ago.
You have a negative connotation to people moving in now, they aren't rising a wave, they are continuing the change and investing in the community to mature it to a destination and real neighborhood.
If imagine your SO would be disappointed if all the work done went to waste and the downtown stagnated.
