So I should clarify that if my picturing how this neighborhood would develop had been merely generally correct I could expect to see a reasonable amount of restaurants and retail moving in as storefronts were rehabilitated, as the price level got high enough various auto repair or construction supply places would’ve flipped, it would be pleasant!

But no, I correctly gauged things, the hotter area down the street has more locations so that’ll expand at a pace that should mean buildings get repurposed and vacant lots become 4+1s in the next 10 years when it’ll hit (maybe 1 or 2 of the plumbing/kitchen supply places become nightclubs. One’s already practice space/art studios!) and for the next 20 years I’m a 4 minute walk to the bus stop at the midpoint of the hot part of town
