Hopefully Robbie is wrong that this area of the city will be fully built out in well less than 50 years. Despite the land for sale signs, nothing has been built along Portage Road. Every day more and more people begin to understand the unsustainability of building in the exurbs, the reality of global warming, and the reality of peak oil. At some point the people who get it will outnumber the people who don't, and they will gradually occupy decision-making positions in government and real estate. Who's going to want to make a 20-mile commute each day when gasoline is $10/gallon or more?
