Obviously, conversion can be somewhat tricky, but purpose built mixed use has sometimes proven quite popular, e.g. at Santana Row.
My experience of living there was limited to a few weeks in a hotel, but it certainly had its advantages.
- ohazi 6y agoI'd like Santana Row more if the people there weren't so obnoxious. Their pecking order seems to be determined by: 1) How rare and expensive your car is 2) Having the exhaust modified to be as loud as possible 3) Demonstrating (1) and (2) every thirty seconds
- ghaff 6y agoI'd observe that living in any small area whether it's a "fake town" like Santana Row or a real town like gentrified areas of many old small New England cities can get old. I worked in downtown Nashua NH--not the strip mall, the old downtown--for quite a few years. It was nice. But you maybe had a dozen square blocks of nice restaurants and interesting shops and that was it. Fine to commute to a few days a week. Less interesting IMO to live in.
