	+ ------ + ''2006-10-24 14:28:44'' [[nbsp]] While I agree with your assessment of the Urban Renewal of the 1970's I disagree with your assessment of the two projects today. I think without too much background that the High Falls area was revitalized from basically vacant industrial buildings. The Brooks Landing project also is re-using almost exclusively vacant space, and is widely supported by the community. You could argue about the benefits of the project or the possible gentrification, but I don't think that comparing it to 1960's-1970's Urban Renewal is a fair assessment. --["DanApfel"]
