Smarter architecture, smarter building systems, and decentralized utilities are in all likelihood the wave of the future.  Not because they're pie-in-the-sky utopian but because they cut down on waste, which saves energy and resources, and therefore saves money.  The up-front costs of such things are indeed usually higher, but if one is going to build a building, one would be smart to build it with the long-term in mind, and in the long-term things like this will end up costing us less.  If anything, it's utopian to think we can get away with continuing to construct wasteful, dead trend-riding cookie-cutter buildings in the long run.<br><br>Why spend thousands of dollars on a water bill needlessly cycling hundreds of thousands of gallons of water through a building when you could install a greywater filtration system and reuse some of it?  Why run up a heating/cooling/electrical bill when a more well thought-out structure needs less heating, less A.C., and less lighting?  Why pay for sewage to be sluiced away with thousands of gallons of valuable potable water when a correctly-managed compost system produces safe, nutrient-rich (ie highly marketable) soil and fertilizer?  Why pay millions of dollars to renovate the building over and over again through its lifespan if durable, quality construction and intelligent use of materials means that it lasts several hundred years and ages gracefully?

It sits at a major intersection, and is an ideal location for something iconic, something unique; something that serves as a landmark, brings people to the neighborhood, and drives up surrounding property values.<br><br>An empty fenced-in lot does none of that.  Of course, neither does yet another "so 2006" big box residential building, arguably, but first things first - if the economy gets as bad as it looks to, that issue may solve itself.<br><br>The possibilities for what we could do with this spot temporarily are near-endless.  The space has a lot of potential.  The trick would be to communicate thoroughly, honestly, and often, and to let the developers see that it\'s in their best interest to get involved with something like this.  There are plenty of things that could be done here that are better than letting it sit dormant for the next few years.</div>\

Most condo buyers want generic granite and stainless and over time they will find a few buyers and eventually renters.    Crazy and groundbreaking costs too much and unless you happen to own this property  “let’s” is not going to do anything.   If you want to design what’s built then I recommend saving your pennies and buying the land.  <br><br>LMAO can you define for me the Ballard feel?   Is it possible that you and I might actually feel alike?  To which east are you referring?  Spokane?  New York?  Iraq?</div>\

Smarter architecture, smarter building systems, and decentralized utilities are in all likelihood the wave of the future.  Not because they\'re pie-in-the-sky utopian but because they cut down on waste, which saves energy and resources, and therefore saves money.  The up-front costs of such things are indeed usually higher, but if one is going to build a building, one would be smart to build it with the long-term in mind, and in the long-term things like this will end up costing us less.  If anything, it\'s utopian to think we can get away with continuing to construct wasteful, dead trend-riding cookie-cutter buildings in the long run.<br><br>Why spend thousands of dollars on a water bill needlessly cycling hundreds of thousands of gallons of water through a building when you could install a greywater filtration system and reuse some of it?  Why run up a heating/cooling/electrical bill when a more well thought-out structure needs less heating, less A.C., and less lighting?  Why pay for sewage to be sluiced away with thousands of gallons of valuable potable water when a correctly-managed compost system produces safe, nutrient-rich (ie highly marketable) soil and fertilizer?  Why pay millions of dollars to renovate the building over and over again through its lifespan if durable, quality construction and intelligent use of materials means that it lasts several hundred years and ages gracefully?  All of those things sound long-term cost-effective to me;  if I\'m wrong, someone please correct me.<br><br><br>Why build yet another bland rampart of condos soon-to-be-turned-into apartments when a high-quality, high-publicity, groundbreaking, -surrounding-property-value-increasing- development could go in its place?   I am well aware that all developers are not evil.  Did I not advocate working and communicating with the ones who own this property?  I am not anti-development, and I am not anti-profit.  But on first glance this development looks like it thinks it\'s riding a wave that actually broke on the beach last fall.  The consequences of short-term-profit-oriented, cheaply executed development are becoming painfully clear all around the country.  I don\'t know for sure whether this project is of the same kind, but given the origin and attributes of the first-round design and given the look of the thing this time around, it certainly looks that way. <br><br>I don\'t pretend to know for sure whether a lot of the things I tossed out there are good ideas or not, but I think it\'s a conversation that\'s worth having with each other and with developers.  Being shortsighted now will come back to haunt us later.  Taking the long view might just pay back big.</div>\

Like Aspen the people, who work there, including state employees, cannot afford to live there.  Half the homes are seasonal rentals.  I love Santa Fe but it’s a theme park for adults and to be honest few real adults actually live there anymore.   It seems most of the residents are rich unhappy people looking to find themselves in a crystal shop.

A condo looks like an apartment building what else do you expect?   It\'s just like townhouses.  They all look alike even if they slap a few pieces of wood up and call them a craftsman.  They are what they are.  Canal Street is cheesy and Leva looks like someone used old shipping crates to build it.   I live in a really ugly 70s building with great livability and reasonable rent. <br><br>The Ballard neighborhood where I grew up has lots of different designs.  There were two craftsmans, a few Tudors, a dump from the mill days, a rambler, and even a split level.   Two really ugly mega houses have been added but they are kept well and not an issue.</div>\
