    That first construction photo is one of the best I have seen of the new urban East Side.

  2. I can’t comment on the food but the loss of that ugly building that housed Qudoba is gratifying. I glad to see the development of highrise in the area. It will take pressure off the historic district and west of Downer. What I’m wondering is where are the poor people going to live? Is anyone looking at affordable housing for this area?

    Jeffrey, adding units at the volume is what helps keep units elsewhere more affordable. The East Side still has a lot of very affordable, if small, studios and 1BRs. Compared to just about any other large city, we are doing well at keeping housing costs low.

    There was a significant affordable housing development constructed just a block north of there on Farwell. The city has an abundance of affordable housing options – even on the East Side.
