I agree with you that the only thing that will get downtown as a whole up on its feet is a few more thousand people living there. Though I don't share the same sentiment about Pioneer Place. I believe that the mall actually brings many more people downtown than would care to shop if it was not there. If someone does not see what they want there, they can walk to Nordy's, Borders, Macys, ect. I might just be lazy but my idea of shopping is not walking 9 blocks all together between 3 destinations. LLoyd on the other hand, good riddance.
