Vertical Potential

City of Spokane Planning Commissioner and developer of mixed use development notices vertical potential. 




our Trader Joes building/their Trader Joe's building
Gail says:

"empty land, large surface parking lots and dilapidated buildings are one option. The other untapped area, is large, sprawling one story buildings. We could put 5 stories of residential on top of ground floor commercial!!!

Here's an example of an apartment above Trader Joes [in Minneapolis]

As long as it is cheap and easy in the short term (very expensive in long term) development will sprawl and taxpayers, businesses and low income [people] will pay, Pay, PAY."
