A lack of foot traffic - and the corresponding scarcity of the kind of retail that makes an urban neighborhood livable and desirable - might have something to with the fact that a small but loud segment of Fairmounters likes extra-wide, garage-fronted town"homes" and dislikes buildings over 35 feet. Having to travel elsewhere for shopping is probably a necessary result of having low-ish density. |
Somewhat fair. There were a couple of projects killed (one at Poplar and 26th) that got killed in 2004-2005 due to height issues. Not sure but I think the Parkway 22 thing is on hold.
In short, if you want the "stuff" you need people. Fairmount ain't PS Brooklyn.
But, back on message...Mexican please
