one tiny snag in jack's plan is that the zoning on that stretch of james north is exclusively residential above the first floor. it seems to me, having a very intimate knowledge of james north, that if he had announced commercial main floor and residential on the second and third floor he would be presently contemplating adding a fourth and fifth floor. the office vacancy rate in this city is over ten percent. there are very few places to live on james street north. i really hope the city doesnt just roll over on the zoning issue. i would rather an empty lot for another couple of years than a building that eliminates the potential for new residential construction on that corner in our lifetime. we desperately need more people living downtown.
