Pinkerton,
Just park in the street and all over the neighborhood like Coltivare on White Oak.
Stacked big-box retail at the old Tarkett site? Not sure if better than Katyville, or just uber-Katyville. Maybe with stacked big-box we can finally get all of the suburban invaders crammed in there so we can have decent development in the rest of the area?

I don’t think this should come as a surprise, given that oil has plummeted from $100/barrel to roughly $40/barrel – and will continue to languish for a few years at least. Saudis are going to keep pumping, Iranian oil is going to come on the market, and Big Oil and remaining shale producers will produce at any cost to keep cash flow going.

If anything, this slowdown may finally cool off the crazy apartment building, ease rents for occupants, and slow our population boom.
Daiso needs to come ASAP.

Waiting on Uniqlo and Muji…
