I thought infill is meant to fill in empty parcels around Tucson; when was the intention changed to mean tear up our neighborhoods to line the pockets of out of town developers. I live on 5th Ave., 1/2 block from The District. It is not a lovely addition to our historic neighborhood: with its arrival, many long-time inhabitants sold their homes and moved away and every time that starts happening, it is the beginning of the end. This building will add nothing but unwanted crowding, noise and congestion to the area. The funky little six-block stretch of 4th Avenue is a destination spot for eating, drinking, people watching and shopping and the small business owners are invested in the personality as it has developed. If this comes to pass, and I truly hope it does not, it will be nothing but a big bite out of the flavor of Tucson.
