"This provides an option for regular folks to be right in the downtown area." They're already there.

I have lived on east for a couple years now and have watched Progress, Peacock, Pedernales, and all the other uncrackifying going on in the hood and I think it's great. It's called diversity. The thing that bugs the shit out of me is all these "stop gentrifying the east side" tags all over the place. Whoever is doing that is not "from" the east side, definitely not Mexican and 100% no chance in hell a Black person. The people who are mad about this are White people who are pissed cause their Mexican landlord is raising the rent. That is called Oppertunity.
