My town has decided to pour a ton of money into revitalizing the sleepy downtown and the sad/dead mall near my house. This is awesome, and it has already increased our property value, and will increase it more, and it will just make living where I live more awesome b/c we will be within a long walk or a short drive of much better stuff.
And I swear, 90% of the comments on the local online/facebook neighborhood groups is just bitching about anticipated traffic.
These people would rather live next to an abandoned Sears than a shop or restaurant that people might actually want to go to. I don't get it at all.
