"Chapel Hill’s 'The Edge' development could bring national retailers"- The Daily Tar Heel
Where are the opportunities for local businesses? Is anybody interested as business person or customer? And what about how this design fits for walkers and bikers and people taking a bus? Where is that plan? Who are the people really behind this? Even this provides none of those answers.
"Taking the car out of Carrboro and Chapel Hill" - The Daily Tar Heel
The problem is so much more fundamental than this. The community simply was not designed and had not grown up to be the right scale and organization for people walking or biking; it is, like most, a community designed for cars. Unless we address that flaw, we'll never solve a lot of problems.

Imagine life here with so few cars! It's nice to imagine, but so very frustrating to come back to reality.

"The Research Triangle: From Tobacco Road to Global Prominence - William M. Rohe" - Amazon
Probably a great book, but a little expensive and on Kindle version.
