I conducted an informal poll of downtown residents (i.e. friends and clients), asking them what they'd like to see coming to the neighborhood. Here are the majority of responses:
1. Trader Joes (already happening, FYI)
2. Whole Foods (already happening, FYI)
3. More parks and/or parklets
4. More breakfast options
5. More housing and facilities for Skid Row homeless
6. Independent movie theater (already happening--Alamo Drafthouse)
7. More taxis with taxi ramps
8. Schools
9. Post offices with weekend opening hours
10. More ATMs
