Why all these pot stirring posts from new folks? They. They. They. I think we missed the meeting to slam..."THEY".

On the subject of movie theaters, world wide attendance has dropped. People are watching their movies at home more. Television screens are bigger and cheaper than they were and people can pause and pee and have a lovely Dewars on ice if they wish.

The Pandemic is going to kill a lot of businesses that were heading down.

On that very note, the economy is going to have a rocky ride for the next few years.

What about MVP?

If you think about it there probably is no bond left to pay so it’s a great way to get somebody else to pay the taxes on the whole building. If there were a chance to add the commercial space taxes to you homes taxes you can bet it would have been done already.

Did anyone consider there might not be music at the Spanish Spring square anymore? I hope that's not the case.

They’ll be fine if there are no windows and you invite a group of friends in every night of the week during the hours of music. 🥴

If this apartment trend continues there won’t be any entertainment on the square.

I sense a bit of noise resentment from people enjoying life in your attempt at comedy... people who don't like noise usually are intelligent enough NOT to buy/rent in these type of places.

So if you don't like the noise, don't go / rent / buy

Nothing needs to be up there esp apts. They built it that way just for show which is the basis of their concepts. Which I am ok with because that is partially why we live in the bubble

To bad, your "assumption" is a complete fantasy....

The Developer does not live is "bubble" nor do they build buildings "just for show", they will use that empty space as they see fit in order to create income streams, aka Apartments.

Is there any way that article can be posted for those who don’t have access to the paper?

how about the traffic that people who live in that area will now be faced with?
