re: Why don't suburbs like Central and Walker ban high density developments?

Curious to hear what makes you think its false. Let me guess, you think folks with section 8 vouchers are limited to the ghetto? They are absolutely being used in Shoecreek....no different than any other apartment building.

This is why every apartment development turns to absolute shite.

No, because I'm familiar with the developer's financing and can tell you it's all market rate. You just don't like the demographic that can afford the market rate right now.

The problem, if there is one, is not the apartments. It's the lack of high paying jobs in the area that attract young professionals, and fill your apartments with the demographic you want. See Nashville, Dallas, Huntsville, Austin, and every other booming city that has nice apartments popping up everywhere.

I do love the TD complaint circle. First it's how ridiculous rent is in cities like New Orleans, but also no new apartment development which basically every study shows just points to higher rents.

However, TBF, South LA has had nothing but shite development for a long time. Most cities in the area just need to demand that the developer's be better and push for nice products. You have to look at the whole of the city and not just the project.
