The character of the city is diminished each time large chain retailers and/or malls open in the city.

This would destroy this historic neighborhood. If I wanted to live near major retail, I would move to Metairie or another surburb. Needless to say, the neighborhood cannot support the number of tractor trailer trucks that would have to supply the major retailers. All the old houses in this area would suffer additional foundation problems by all these heavy trucks. This developer only has experience in low end retailers.
