Downtown Phoenix today is a far cry from where it stood just a few years ago when the thought of any new residential development seemed so alien as to be other-worldly.
All sorts of multi-housing developments have sprung up in downtown, both before the Great Real Estate Crash that became the Great Recession and since.
One location in particular is particularly important in the latest wave of urban residential development — a roughly 4-acre, city-owned property on Second Street north of Roosevelt Street.
Whatever choice Phoenix City Council members ultimately make about development there, it’s important they get it right.
