We need to build up our downtown but lower our taxes? Sounds like a one way street to me. East Village as far as I remember requires some sort of funding no?
I don't know how everybody expects to build up (condo's) when half the condo's in the city are partially vacant. If the demand is not there then you can't build up. The demand for houses is there. The house inventory is shrinking. So you have to build out.
The only argument against that is infill's but that's not building up.
