^^^My bad, I should've said "As much as possible" at the end.

I 10.  Im being serious in this question.

How would you define "Urbanist'?

A person that wants everything to resemble New York.

I definitely consider myself an urbanist...and actually don't care for much of New York City

To be honest about Brooklyn, the area pretty much straddles on urban and suburban style buildings. Look at what's across the street? The Florida Times Union, Haskell, and other suburban styles buildings with pretty large parking lots. MJ often says that State/Union cuts off DT from Springfield; IMO the FEC railroad tracks cuts off the Riverside from DT noticeably more, being that the only connection are viaducts. So that's why I'm not throwing a fit with this Brooklyn project. That Riverside Publix is not exactly an urban masterpiece either; The only thing that saves it from being 'very suburban looking' is the line of stores on Margaret St.



















Is this is suburban, what do we call Mandarin and Northern St. Johns County?

I think that Jacksonville should strove to be like New York City as much as possible. I hung out in NYC a lot in my late teens early twenties. I really miss all of the pretty brights, the 24 hour mass transit service, the walkability, the accents, the diversity of the people. and being albino, I can walk those streets without harassment, even in Harlem! Everything here in Jax seems to go directly against everything I grew up around! and it sucks! Guess I'm just homesick.

Not to say that we don't have our own set of problems up there.
