Exactly. Unfortunately, you're talking to someone (Ritarancher) who advocated for building big box stores downtown. His ideas of urbanism often conflict with each other and more accurately reflect suburban growth.

Im not sure where the "rundown" homes are in west university either... I would personally love to own a 1920s bungalow with a REAL yard and a REAL living space.

I think the "rundown" comment stems from having driven down 6th Street once or twice. Criticizing the upkeep of one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city is patently ridiculous. There are some yards with weeds in Sam Hughes, too, but that doesn't detract from the neighborhood as a whole.
