Making rooms for families means the end of stamping out $750,000 condos with 1 1/2 to 2 bedrooms. Downtown developers and realtors only know how to push upgraded fixtures and "meat-market" type amenities. They would instantly get a look stupid expression if they were asked to sell something that was family friendly instead of "luxury". None of these people are able to go to dinner parties and brag about kid friendly amenities like decent sized 2nd and 3rd bedrooms (for less than a $million anyway) and proximity to school or school transportation. It is all about the wine coolers, sunning decks by the pool, imported granite counter tops, and terrazzo floors.Moostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-29511250018388803072010-02-01T08:49:22.526-06:002010-02-01T08:49:22.526-06:00That is the rub.
No kids = no neighborhood revita...That is the rub.<br /><br />No kids = no neighborhood revitalization.<br /><br />Well, now we need to fix the school system. Putting ones children into Davidson Counties schools is borderline child abuse. Educators shouldn't have to "brag" about how safe their schools are as a result of the number of officers who are deployed there. Having a good young mother's education program is NOT indicative of a quality education system. <br /><br />Most "breeders" that would otherwise fit the profile of an urban hipster aren't moving to your area because of schools. <br /><br /> Fix schools, crime, and taxes and the neighborhoods will follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
