Moon said...: i take it from the article's silence that this is neither aspirational nor an unfunded concept, so i would assume private developers are footing the bill with some incentives from the state, county, and city.

i'm all for it. the whole allegheny river is growing more beautiful each year, and it's already having the desired effect (see, e.g., del monte). moreover, in the long run, rental towers have to be worth more in tax revenues to the city than the lower, crappier buildings in that area now. perhaps i've just become indoctrinated, but i'm really starting to buy this if you build it they will come mentality about downtown; it seems to be working, and in any event i'm a sucker for new construction when it's done right. the rendering looks lovely.; 11:33 AM
