A truly diverse urban experience commingles a local vibe with commercial options. One doesn’t replace the other.

Not sure why they insisted on destroying east Cervantes street with commercial property. I guess best there will be a gas station on the corner of 17th

Enough already. How about taking a poll of the East Hill residents and you’ll get your answer. Or are you too chicken?

No, it would be a tragedy if they knock down two 100 year old, poorly maintained homes of no real architectural value that we already have better preserved examples of in other parts of the city. I don’t care about the people who paid property taxes on those homes for years, screw their property rights, the homes must be saved. Who’s going to pay for it you ask, I don’t care won’t be me, but we must save them. #SaveTheOldShotgunHousesNobodyCaresAboutUntilTheyAreAboutToBeKnockedDown

And unlike Publix, it looks like they plan on preserving all the live oaks. Those live oaks are of much greater value than the non-descript “architecture” of those homes.

Excellent news. Turning an abandoned former convenience store into a well lit, tax and job producing industry is fantastic! The two 90 year homes currently used for storage have no historic or architectural value. As a former New Orleanian who is strong preservationist, I love my architectural history. I also know when calls for preservation are veiled attempts at anti-progress NIMBYism. Opposition to this seems to be the latter.

Would I rather a local company or a nice restaurant take this spot? Yes. But for nearly 5 years that building has remained derelict and empty, a comfortable spot for vagrants. Time to move ahead with something positive.
