Sadly, No

Ardmore's an inner ring suburb with an urbanish town center. I don't know if the original redevelopment plan were awesome, it's quite possible that they weren't for various reasons, but a lot of the opposition was basically due to the fact that it was 'too much,' as in adding too much density.

"That," he said, "might be all we need."
