"In response to William, the swap meet, wanna be Bouguereau "artist" and self appointed deco diva:
Why don't you practice what you preach instead of living far outside of the urban core, south of I-44 in your detached single family suburban style home?
What a hypocrite.
Besides, most young professionals on staring salaries can't afford(or even qualify for a mortgage) for the overpriced luxury lofts that you new urbanist elitists want built in the pearl in place of the affordable housing that currently exists in the neighborhood, much less the baristas and bartenders who will work in the bars and coffeeshops you envision for the area, but empty nesting baby boomers looking to downsize and live in a state of denial in a vain attempt to deny their own mortality and symbolically reclaim their youth by living a hip urban lifestyle sure can. The argument that this is for the young people is just a straw man to cover for the real demographic this plan is catering to.
Real starving young, creative artists with talent won't be able to afford the rent for studios or apartments in the gentrified, economically gated community envisioned by Jamie Jamison either. One look $300,000+ price tag for living in his village at central park just proves that point, maybe the talentless trust funders or those who get bankrolled by the 'rents so they can pretend to be artists will be able to, but that's about it.
What a fairy tale."
