I was talking with someone about how there aren't enough condos in the downtown Raleigh area for older people to downsize to since everything that is being built there is apartments targeted at younger people. That's definitely a need that downtown Cary can fill.
It's probably the correct direction given that smack dab in the middle of downtown is riddled with auto repair shops. I would still like to see the older neighborhoods by the cultural arts center stay; I love those houses.
It's the natural progression of any city that is growing. Also, expect to see raising of more and more old 2 story wooden apartment complexes in the Triangle being replaced by taller ones with more units.
Definitely rooting for DT Cary! Feel it has kind of been left behind in the never ending suburban sprawl for newer and bigger houses. Glad to see it turning around and think it is best for all of Cary. Full disclosure, we live on the edge of DT Cary so I am totally biased.
Even today, Cary is somehow still considered a "town", even with over 160,000 residents, LMAO. I wonder what it would take for Cary to finally be considered a city by Cary's government.
For all intents and purposes it is a city as far as size and what people think of as a "city" - however it's chosen to retain the moniker "town" which most suburban people probably prefer. When all is said and it done it really makes no difference. It will be governed the same way regardless.
See, I disagree with that. It feels like a town to me. Of course, I grew up in a town of 115,000, so maybe that skews my way of thinking, but I think of cities as being the focal point of a region’s economy with a dense downtown core.
