I prefer Boston-Edison area, Sherwood Forest area, Indian village, west village for high end renovations.

May take years to learn.6) Big time difference between flipping and developing although lots of Growth Area/"urban village" type projects can take 3 months for permits rather than 12-months.7) Development is more susceptible to market timing than flipping.

Now the west side of the tollway, called Legacy West, is being built up with the same lifestyle with many apartments and many high end shops.Clipped from Dallas News:Legacy West is a 250-acre project includes an urban village with 280,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space; a 300-room, $82 million Renaissance hotel; and hundreds of apartments and offices along the west side of the Dallas North Tollway at Legacy Drive.Within two years, more than 16,000 people will be working in the Legacy West project, making it one of the largest new job centers in the state.In early 2014, when developers kicked off Legacy West, they said it could take as long as seven years to complete.  

Besides the population, Columbus has OSU graduating 6000+ students a year, we just received a huge grant to be one of the first "smart cities" in the country, areas around downtown like Old Town East and Merion Village just to name a few have made huge advances in revitalization just in the past 2 years.  

Any and all input welcome (non fiction preferably).  

its is wyers end  I beleive.. although Neal may have another one in mind.when your out there look at the Village at Rand road in Hood river ..

The next time police will be coming, they are looking at criminal offense after 3 citations issued: for violating village ordinance and letting their dogs on to other people's property and not cleaning after their dogs.

Rachel Flynn, Oakland’s director of planning and building, said the city shut down the tiny house village out of safety concerns and because the dwellings didn’t meet minimum standards, which require secondary dwelling units to be at least 170 square feet and not have wheels."

The question is not can you do it but will the village/ town allow it.
