Here's a series of fine articles from the Skyway News related to the pros and cons of the loft issue we recently discussed:
City of no industry http://www.skywaynews.net/articles/2004/06/25/news/news02.txt Downtown too industrial? No, too quiet say residents http://www.skywaynews.net/articles/2004/06/25/news/news02.txt Perhaps if one has megabucks and a view of the Mill Ruins Park, a downtown loft would seem great, but if you have whole sections of the city that are lofts, lofts and more lofts you've got a glut of too much of one type of structure, and many vacancies... And not enough diversity, no GREEN space, and no room for such things as art studios, legacy industries, a hardware store, a grocery store, a school, etc. Madeline Douglass Kingfield REMINDERS: 1.
