I have an honest question: why do these kinds of townhouse "communities" so rarely include any kind of commercial component? I think that some kind of retail or restaurant would do pretty well on this part of Highland, and 108 units alone would be enough to service some retail uses. What is the barrier (if any) to developers to make these types of things mixed-use? To say nothing of the question of why the municipality doesn't encourage it, especially on a corridor where rapid transit is planned.
