When asked the question "Are you trying to recreate an Eastern downtown?" Mayor Oscar Goodman replies: "Oh absolutely. I don't think there's any question about that. That's what I envision as being a sophisticated, cosmopolitan downtown. That's why we're talking about a mixed-use type neighborhood. We're talking about commercial, we're talking about business, we're talking about residential, we're talking about the social, cultural--all those types of things in the downtown area. And that's what they have in Eastern cities."
