@NateIsBack2 Dinner. She mirrored my every movement. If I took a bite, so did she. If I used my napkin, she followed suit. I eventually noticed, so I tested her by randomly sliding my drink from one end of the table to the other. Without skipping a beat...her drink slid across the table too.

To this I ask... What happened to all of that housing? Evidently Cincinnati had the capacity to house 500k people. Why is there less housing today? Seems like a fundamental flaw with how our city has operated during the past 7 decades.

503k people lived in Cincinnati in 1950. 385k in 1980. 309k now. Our infrastructure and city services were built with a bigger city in mind. The capacity is there. We aren't full. Our zoning code makes us artificially capped. It's about time we reform it for a better city.
