New Urban Living

Roseland is a "new urbanism" project that would feature residential and retail development.

Roseland's 2,000-acre "new urbanism" project could put 4,500 homes off Route 288. Greg Pearson

Spurred by a backlash against suburban sprawl and what appears to be a demand for urban living - without panhandlers and potholes - GBS Holding, Ltd. is proposing Roseland, a 2,000-acre development south and west of the Route 288 intersection with Woolridge Road.

That's one of the smaller mega developments out there. The largest is 5000 new homes, another is around 4500.... massive development.

No problems with this... but I do have a problem with the advertisement, "Spurred by a backlash against suburban sprawl and what appears to be a demand for urban living - without panhandlers and potholes" almost like WBV being the new Fan. I guess the city should either kill or lock up its panhandlers so we can appease those offended. And over time, there will be potholes.
