It needs a catalyst to jumpstart major development, but even without one... there's so much potential that the neighborhood will eventually blossom again. It can't NOT happen. It's just a matter of when.

I think what is holding it back is the low height limits. I would love to see existing buildings be preserved as much as possible with empty lots having much higher limits and height bonuses for residential buildings. Turning Old Town into an active neighborhood downtown would be a good thing.
