“The future of downtown is looking fantastic. At 1.5 people per unit, that means 15,000 new downtown residents. This used to be a 9-to-5 downtown. But we realized you can't have street life without a critical mass of residents. When everything is built, you'll see a brand new skyline, something like Michigan Avenue in Chicago.”
Carol Schatz
“A 25-mile-per-hour speed limit would send a message to drivers to keep residents safe.”
David Miller
“I guess I didn't even realize this, but there are so many people who are city residents who actually have to put their bike in the car and drive to the ride [at other locations]. This is a great opportunity for them to just ride to Toscana, and we take off from there. I didn't realize there were so many people in the area that would do that. I really expected that we would get a lot more people driving in, parking and taking off.”
Dan Butler
“In one of our Virginia Beach condo units, the elevator broke with a resident inside it and was down for a week. The entire fourth floor is retired folks in their 70s and 80s, and they had to walk up four flights of stairs to get to their unit.”
Donald Smith
“People were worried that residents were tapped-out when it came to money or volunteering, but that's not the case. People know if we don't help ourselves nothing will happen. We will be the ones who get out, clean up and rebuild.”
Dan Kibodeaux
“Building 200,000 new residences per year, not to mention the current interest in fixing up existing homes in order to spend new housing equity as fast as possible, will tend to drive this (employment).”
Christopher Thornberg
“Since there are no changes in the allotment of residences, I think it bodes well for the residents.”
