Doesn't this concern anyone? This guy is probably one of the worse speculators of parkinglot space on James and now he is being heralded as a hero cause he is going put "a decent coffee shop" in this building. What a jackass. This will not aid thestreet, it will kill it. All of the corporate intrest in the street (and some of it is hidden behind goodwill like in an old laundry/flophouse) is discouraging and hurtful to the little guy. No body in the arts and music industry is going to be happy with the place turning into SoHo. Instead of artists you will have box stores. The fancy-smancy furniture stores are the next step in this. How long before the guy just shoves a Starbucks and a Bank and a Law Firm at the end of the street. Lots of people making a bit of money is the way to go, not a couple of greedy aholes hijacking the whole thing.
