I meant it more hypothetically as there are currently few options in downtown Baton Rouge, but the new Commerce Building apartments look promising.

And I'm not knocking the houses down there. I even appreciate Mr. Town's work, though I don't always love his design language. I just don't want to live down there, personally.

I actually think his firm may have designed the office building on Laurel and 5th.

Downtown Baton Rouge looks great now and I'd live there if I were single....but when you have a family, those single family homes with yards (either in Baton Rouge's older 'suburbs' like the garden district or Goodwood...or the newer ones farther out) will become more attractive. I think this younger generation is waiting longer to buy, but I don't think that will impact the golf course/country club developments so much as the fact that many communities have too damn many golf courses to sustain.

I'm almost 43 and have been living in a suburban McMansion(Bimringham) for 15 years now. We are counting down the days to when we can sell it and move to a loft or condo downtown. 2 kids in school prevent that right now. Suburban life is boring.
