Do you even know the layout of downtown?  500 feet is nothing.  There is plenty of developable real estate further away than 500 feet from any of the 'C' buildings downtown, and yet, it doesn't develop.  Again, case in point, the Landing.  Why?  Also, all that property is lumped together for those 'C's.  How is that strategic?

I said parcels of land.

I didn't say buildings.

Literally anything owned by the "C". It could be 15 feet of nothing... but if it's next to something that could be a fun place? Nope. Stays a nothing building that just deteriorates.

Oh and I was wrong.. it's 500 feet if you're selling liquor.

There shall be not less than 1,500 feet from an established school or church for the on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages, not in conjunction with the service of food, except as specifically provided herein.

So bars and nightclubs? 1,500 feet..... basically... this city has been screwed for a very long time by a very specific group of people. Like pretty much all of downtown is within 6000 feet (obviously not square footage... but look at the width and length of downtown...its not much)... and if they own 30 properties all within that?
