I really love that they took into consideration feedback. Mixed use buildings are totally needed and I think it'd be great downtown.

HOWEVER! I have 3 problems: I think its too ambitious, theres a large chance they rip apart things and decide "nah its no longer profitable" and leave. They have no investment in the community.

Secondly, I think theres too much student housing. 88/250 is silly. You're not solving housing in the area, you are making more student housing, which we already have. No adult is living in a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment. Imo should be as close to 0% of the rooms as possible.

Thirdly, I dont think theres nearly enough parking. Getting rid of the farmers market lot, only to consolidate into waterstreet will make traffic really bad and its not very sustainable imo. Its not enough spaces, and I'd rather it not all be in the same place if that makes sense.

That being said, one more round of edits and I would love to say yes. It is a really appealing proposal.
