@ Alex B "Well, you could always add to the supply of retail space (and thereby driving down rents) by allowing retail uses in more areas of the city..."

a. There's plenty of commercially zoned space throughtout the city that is currently not being used. I'm sure you've heard of Wards 5 and 8's wanting to attract more grocery stores and other types of retail?

b. The issue here is NEIGHBORHOOD serving retail. I thought the so-called smart growth folks were all for being able to do everything in their own neighborhood ... Or am I hearing that bars and restaurants are all that this smart growth group cares about for now ... oh yeah, that a place to rest your head nearby.
