I grew up in youngstown and left in the late 90's, now I live in brooklyn and pay less than that to live in a neighborhood with far more services (grocery stores/public transit etc.) I get what they're trying to do, but the truth is that the demographic for this kind of living in youngstown is really limited and the wrong kind of thinking for downtown. If gentrification is what they are looking for, then they need to appeal to the people who have been hanging out downtown for the last decade, not doctors and lawyers.
Realty rises to reality
