Which allows you to have wealthier residents.

Otherwise the poor trash moving into the rentals will drive it into the ground.

Or...what's happening now.
While that sounds nice, unfortunately that ship has sailed. We'll never see factories along the riverfront again. We simply can't compete with China or other cheap labor countries. I remember working for a company in the 80's and our jobs went to Mexico. THAT was MY wake up call.

Any other ideas?

My suggestion for bars was basicaly to increase tourism and dollars spent in Mayfair. While I agree that there wouldn't be as many jobs available as ther would be in a factory, ther WOULD be an increase in jobs in Mayfair as a result of the increased tourism.

See what I mean?
