I really hope that Greenville can be a shining example to the rest of the country about how a city can thrive and involve all residents from lower to upper class. I would love to see some lower cost housing go to deserving families in areas close to the downtown area so we keep a diverse set of people. There are 3 main ingredients in changing people's lives that are caught in a bad environment. Access to quality education, financial resources and a supportive community. We have two of those ready to go. AJ whittenberg, Fisher Middle School as a feeder school to AJ and Greenville and next High School. Beyond that we have Greenville Tech which is a wonderful 2 year Institution. I would argue I got more out of my 2-year management degree there then I did my bachelor's degree from a private well-known University. After that is financial resources which the city and the county do and can have plenty of if we plan properly. After that is a supportive Community which is up to us as a whole to decide we want to be. What if we could be one of the best cities in the country not for just what we are known for now but also because we are changing people's lives in a meaningful way? I come from Newburgh New York which is one of the most brutal areas in the country. Greenville has changed my life and given me opportunities in ways I never thought I would have. I didn't even dream much beyond the age of 18 because of how many people had died or fell into terrible circumstances from my area. Today I own a home, have a rental property and have an education partly due to the opportunity available here and the spirit of the city driving me. All of this said I do not think that particular property is the right space for low income or controlled cost housing. The proceeds however from the project are a different story entirely. When you are talking about a project like that you want to get your biggest bang for your buck. You can't do that with a public housing project, it's just not efficient. But you could find a property some place off Main within walking distance of downtown and the opportunities there for a much better cost per square foot. What if we could draw high-end income people into downtown which is good and from the proceeds of them moving there help the people of the city that need it and are deserving at the same time? The beautiful part is it's not even through taxation it is from capitalist opportunity. Right now there is a shortage of quality service industry people to work in downtown. What if we supported the service industry by having housing for people that work in that industry within walking distance so they didn't even have to worry about owning a car? What if we offered reimbursement for education through the service industry programs at Greenville Tech? You could change people's lives and keep families together. It is very destructive to the community as a whole when families break apart and a big strain on those relationships are Financial and the ability to retain quality well-paying work. What if we could help people go from being busboy to head chef? Or what if we could help people go from being a cleaning lady to general manager of a hotel? What would our city look like then? To stay on topic that site would not be well-suited for public housing due to the cost per square foot but we absolutely as a city must look at everyone not just the well to do if we want to create something meaningful and just as importantly something that will last.

I think technology drives trends in urban planning and living styles. The original suburbs happened because of changing technology, specifically the automobile and the interstate. The technology that is to come in the future is not conducive to sprawl and people being spread out. The new technology that will drive where people want to live will be faster internet and things like self-driving cars. All of those things are going to happen in the high-tech cities first. This will cause a continued pressure towards the city. All the coolest things that people are going to want are going to be in the cities not the outlying areas. I don't see that trend changing anytime soon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

The pig thing is tacky as hell but the rest of it looks okay. Not amazing just ok Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Wow! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk That is the farthest in something that nice has been built yet if it happens. That will make my properties go through the roof Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I saw this on Sunday flying out to LA. I didn't realize it was something different, cool beans. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if the resurfacing that has been done between Woodruff Road and Pelham is the final finish or not? It's pretty rough if that's the final finish. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Wow that was fast. I never even got a chance to go in there after the company changed concept from Bailey's to that. That was one of the only places in town to go and see pay per views so that kind of stinks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Bi Lo is dirty, gross and only has basic food. They don't serve the same Market as Publix and Harris Teeter. There is no demand being fulfilled by Bi-Lo that is the same as those others. I live over that way as well and I can't wait for HT to open and I have to commute it at least once per day many times twice. I will say I'm not really interested in a Suburban style Chick-fil-A. If they could get creative with the building or something I could see it working but otherwise no. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

What's wrong with the County? Do they really just not care about anything at all? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

What? The AME Church is for sale? I didn't think they would move for sure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

The other locations are South Park and Ballantyne in Charlotte which my understanding is that they are the most high-end areas in that City. I used to run a store in The Ballantyne area and that is very well-to-do over there. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

It would be cool if they could put some rail transportation that went from downtown to the convention center and the downtown airport and then out to GSP. If that was easy cheap and quick it wouldn't matter whether it was downtown or not because people after the convention could just hop on the rail to the hotels and entertainment. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

That's a good match for the movie theater and Dave and Busters. If they put just a few more entertainment venues out there it would be pretty cool maybe a modern bowling alley or something might work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

We'll have to see how this turns out but if they have a chance of competing with QT doing things like this to show they care about the local community is really their only hope. I don't think they can compete on how nice the stations are and selection and stuff like that. If they do more of this showing support for the community I might have to switch back to them.

I think this is a beautiful building, I really like it a lot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Any idea what it is? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

That is pretty cool. I'm looking at the funding and I curious if those numbers all right. It says the project is 10 million dollars and the city will foot 5 million? I'm okay with public private partnerships but that's seems like a big chunk for the city to take on for something like this. We still have a lot of blighted areas and people that need help that money could go to and I'm not really sure that a new upper deck lounge and 2 new entrances when there's nothing wrong with the two that they have is a really wise use of money.

I really like that building that the Goodwill was in I think it looks really cool. It just needs to be fixed up and repainted and all that and it's a really neat looking space. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
