Regionalism is About Place Making
November 24th, 2009 at 9:59 amRegionalism simply doesn’t work when part of the supposed “region” doesn’t want to be associated with the rest of the region. Milwaukee companies must stop trying to appease Waukesha and focus on the city. If refusing water makes that point, then I’m all for it. The Milwaukee metro area just isn’t as strong as other metro areas because of that.
Public Weighs in on UWM's Wauwatosa Expansion Plans
November 12th, 2009 at 9:34 amI am in agreement with the majority of the UWM students who voiced their opinions and I never even attended UWM. Milwaukee needs money investments and it’s sad when the University of Wisconsin MILWAUKEE can’t even come through in this regard. Wauwatosa, although it’s a great suburb and my childhood suburb of residence, is just a suburb. It’s not the economic center of this county and doesn’t need the help. Plus, this seriously is a problem for the dorm students who don’t have cars and would have to bus-commute 25 minutes back and forth every day. This seems…slimey. As if there is something else in play that no one else realizes. That’s just my gut feeling though.
The Moderne Project Held for Special Committee Meeting
October 27th, 2009 at 6:02 pmI am always a big proponent of more high rises in the downtown area, if only to make the city look as big as the population suggests. If this project will also revitalize the Park East area (which absolutely needs it) as well as brings more people downtown, there is no reason to deny it.
"The City is a Big Draw" - UWM Chancellor Santiago

So true. The separation-based attitude of Waukesha and even the surrounding Milwaukee suburbs (having grown up in Wauwatosa, I know this mindset exists there) is staunch and UWM is not helping by even considering moving 150 million dollars outside of the city. It’s not UW-Wauwatosa, UW-New Berlin or UW-Waukesha (already one of those). It’s UW-MILWAUKEE. UWM should invest that into the city that they are deeply entrenched in and perhaps they will reap future benefits instead of throwing money at communities that will NOT return much of the favor.
