    A little late, but my post is in comparison to Cleveland, OH where for the same prices you could get something much nicer. I would also have many more living options available in C…

    This can already be seen, housing is going to be a huge problem without some major investment in that area as well. Nowhere beside Downtown, and maybe one other neighborhood, is wo…
