As if on cue, along comes Debby Downer to throw a wet blanket over things. Unreal.

And just one cue here you come with your pie-in-thre-sky outlook. So why should we accept one view over the other? I have not seen much to convince me one way or the other.

So what do you propose? Not even bothering? This post makes no sense at all. You have to start somewhere in a recovery, and I think 2000 extra people in an urban area is great news.

If I really felt a need to I believe I could reinforce my position. But since it was been a constant decline for the last 50 years, I don't feel compelled to defend my position - just same ole same ole.

We can tangle all we want, that is superfluous. But so is the position Cincy has everything together which they do not.
Which neighborhoods do you want to know about? I could pull the numbers if you're really interested in knowing instead of making a grandstanding point.

He's not interested at all. No matter what, he will move the goal posts again, and make another grandstanding point. I've provided numerous articles, quotes, links, and I doubt he has actually read any of them. Either way he just comes from another unsubstantiated angle.

Anyway, I'm moving on because we are in the process of destroying the development thread.

Thousands of new residents now calling downtown Cincinnati home — UrbanCincy
A supermarket opened in downtown Hartford a couple of years ago but didn't survive. Currently only about 3,000 people live there and clearly that was not enough to support it, even with the influx of tens of thousands of office workers every day. The city envisions having around 10,000 people living downtown in order to be able to sustain a healthy retail environment, including a grocery store and support services.

It appears that Cincinnati now has a healthy base of residents in the downtown area that should be able to support a supermarket of modest size provided that the prices are competitive. Now that the population is going to approach 13 to 15,000 people in the next few years I think we'll see a number of new retailers and obviously more restaurants opening up to cater to the new influx of residents.

^ You'll be pleased to know that Cincinnati's 2012 downtown population (ie, CBD/OTR/Pendleton) reached close to 13,500. However, controversy suggests that this new supermarket needs to be much larger than planned.
