View of the ocean=good, view of the landfill=not so good.
Nice golf course bordering your back yard=good, slaughterhouse bordering your back yard=not so good.
Do you understand now?

Let me give you a nicer answer.  Those kind of choices might be presented when a subdivision is initially developed, but in an established subdivision, with established residents who are concerned about their property values, there are rarely ever two interchangeable units on the market at the same time.



This is reminding me of the dark knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, fighting on after both arms and both legs have been cut off.

So is the emerald trail going to be a positive or a negative for the city?

Negative.

Negative $132 million.  

I'll be interested to see how that money is spent, who gets a piece of it, and who their political connections are.

So the inner core of Jacksonville should remain dilapidated with little investment?

No one said that. You're so far up on your moral high horse that you're unable to hear the conversation clearly. A walking trail through a rundown and crime-ridden part of town is exactly the same as putting a coat of paint on a collapsing house. It's meaningless.

Oh I hear that clearly.  So should we just allow that neighborhood to remain rundown and crime ridden?

This is one of the parts you don't understand.  Two questions.

1.  How many neighborhoods do you think the project encompasses?
2.  What are the needs of each neighborhood?

The map names 15 neighborhoods, and, other than San Marco, each has challenges with being run down and high crime.  Springfield and LaVilla have had some restoration/preservation, and Durkeeville partially got redeveloped 20 years ago with housing projects, but by and large their history and needs are the same.  Other than San Marco it would not be wrong to generically call the other 14 "the Northside".

Springfield used to be a hellhole. You couldn't drive through there without hearing gunshots.

It seems to be doing alright now.

All other things being equal, meaning two homes, both equally close to your family, both equally close to the grocery store and your place of work, but one is next to a housing project and the other is in a nicer neighborhood, which one do you pick?

The real estate market never presents anyone with that type of choice. It just doesn't work like that.

You don't know a thing about real estate then. You should just stop writing when it goes beyond your knowledge.

You think Riverside and Brentwood are similar? Laughing

Oops.  Didn't notice Riverside.  Obviously Riverside is more like San Marco.
