Confusing personal opinion with market conditions again?
Sacramento Commons was approved and should be underway shortly, and the condos at the top of the DOCO tower are clearly under construction (maybe even the Metropolitan some day?). Also, the State still owns a whole lot of those empty lots downtown, there are few locations/property owners willing to sell for large residential projects, and there are still projects being proposed/approved/built surrounding the central core. All this activity, whether adjacent to the core or in midtown proper, will only help to make more projects viable and land becomes scarcer.
So, while downtown isn't seeing the volume of residential projects that midtown has been seeing, suggesting that the City isn't supportive of housing downtown is intellectually dishonest at best.
