Confusing. ArtsCenter is letter F, and Cradle will be in letter E? The legend says building F has "cultural" but building E is office/retail.

Oh well, no matter. Rock is retail.

In any case residential goes in I (a ways away) and H (a good bit closer, but buffered by the giant 7-level parking structure J). Still quite a bit closer to the Cradle than any existing residential, but not *that* much closer than those first houses/condos in Robeson Place or whatever that thing is below the old farmer's market.

It's very Old Mexico. Carrboro: the San Antonio of North Carolina.

Richard: I hear what you're saying, but we've already *got* multiple fakey-fakey "downtown" prefab developments, everything from Southern Village & Meadowmont to freaking Streets of Southpoint. This development, at least, will be increasing the density of an already-existing downtown area and putting more residential/office/retail space into an area that's already served by an "urban" infrastructure of streets, retail & public transit.

If there's decent small/unglamorous office space available, we wouldn't mind renting something if it were cheap enough. Internet connectivity is too shitty to really be able to "work from home" out in the woods where we live, plus it's nice to get out of the house & go to an "office," but still highly preferable in many cases to be physically far away from one's actual co-workers . . .

Plus if we had an office near the Cradle/etc, we could occasionally crash there instead of driving all the way back home.
