You really see the mix of development of different eras here. Victorian housing, then some 50's-70's apartment block, then it got dialed back to almost nothing by the 80's/90's (heavy NIMBY) era. You even see some generic 80's style vinyl suburban homes mixed in with 1800's townhouses and apartment blocks. Now it is possible to build towers around here again.
I hope there's some strong heritage preservation and a good mix of development, but I think the ideal mix does include towers. You see some urban fabric that is really quite appealing looking in the foreground and it includes thoughtful new development and additions. |
I agree. It has the potential to be something quite special. Maybe with more towers, some of the old homes can become family homes again instead of run-down student housing. Some gems in there.
