When Dreamland runs out of sauce.
Fun fact: about 10 years ago they opened a BR location that I pretty much single handedly kept in buisness for about 3 months.

I don't know, I think Tuscaloosa needs at least another dozen apartment complexes before the it pops.

I'm really hoping we can get some more apartments and retail stores opened around 15th and McFarland as quickly as possible.
Why would we ever concern ourselves with parking or traffic flow? Infrastructure is for the weak.

If enrollment stagnates or declines, the glut of student housing will plummet. I don't see that happening any time soon, though.

Downtown has some nice develop ongoing right now, as does McFarland Blvd. Still, Skyland and Alberta desperately need it. The old McFarland Mall that got demolished is supposed to bring 5 retail stores. My wish is that we get a Dave-n-Busters.

The McFarland Mall still exists, but it is vacant at this point except for TJ Maxx.

Wasn't there a cage fighting place open there too?

True it does seem that way, but all this infrastructure is being built with the expectation that the gov will continue to suppress interest rates for college loans
which gives students the wrong signal to go to school for 4 years when the market is not necessarily communicating that signal. Colleges will continue to build at a rapid rate with the continued expectation of that easy money flowing in. When the students graduate and aren't able to get jobs because market forces weren't dictating that they go to college, they won't be able to pay off their loans. And all the whole thing will collapse... Look for this to happen in the next 2-5 years and precipitate our next great economic crisis. Haha, all this to say, I agree with OP's vague message.
