    How many Air BnB's are downtown? One, Two thousand? No one addresses it, why?

      BnB's seem to be a natural thing were there attractive places. There are only two ways to fight it, government limitations on the number of them or build more.

    sad that they're ruining a great place with post modernist junk

      That's what they do. If you really want a punch in the face, look up 'old world architecture' videos that show what the country looked like before post-WW2 planning and junk architecture became de-rigueur

    What is killing cities is not architecture. It is high crime, high taxes, and poor services (dirty streets and sidewalks, bad roads, dirty and unsafe mass transit). The crime and dirt are the worst offenders, and people will rightly avoid those cities. That said, architectural planning certainly has a place, but will serve no purpose if the city is not safe and clean.

      Couple of points. Dirty streets are the product of use. Like are gardener’s hands. High taxes are the product of the high cost of residence. Which means people are competing to live there. Millions of people take mass transit daily with a lesser crime rate than an NFL game. Quit watching Fox and visit Charleston.

      @@MrOliverwoods I have visited Charleston. And dirty streets and crime are not just a product of use, they're a product of neglect, just like a dirty house. It's not OK. Places like Tampa and San Diego gets lots of use, and they're not dirty and crime ridden. Want to people to visit and live in your city? Keep it clean and safe.

      @@StereoSpace Charleston’s population has risen +25% for three decades. What did Yogi say “no one goes there, it’s too crowded.” San Diego is 81st in the US rating for cities. There isn’t a SC city in the top 100.

      @@MrOliverwoods I was talking about why people aren't going to cities, and what is killing them in general. You have contorted that observation into some kind of attack on Charleston. How about you climb down off your war horse and read what I wrote, instead of what you imagine I was saying?

      @@StereoSpace you are talking about what you don’t like when you visit and this video is about preserving history and building the future. Did you visit Charleston to see the historic character of the city ? This is about what’s the best way to build out Charleston to preserve its character, not what makes it suck.

    We need to preserve older Charleston as a memory, a memorial and a reminder. If you know your pre-Civil War history, or even your pre-revolutionary war history, Charleston has a checkered past. The buildings that remain hopefully will remind us of how far we have come; let's not let history be whitewashed.

    Charleston: endless migration=endless traffic, off the chart heat and humidity for 5 months of the year- there is no escape from being soaking wet, plague levels of mosquitoes- the state bird of SC, high cost of living- unless you have millions, you’ll be living at least an hour away from downtown, lack of employment opportunities- don’t expect much unless you have an MD behind your name, squat truck mentality- your neighbor will be a shade tree mechanic who constantly rotates tires for everyone, pollen season- for about a month in the spring, you will experience what it’s like to live inside a vacuum cleaner bag, weather- it rains A LOT, and there are frequent and heavy storms. And at some point, a HUGO sized storm is going to hit again. A CAT 5 Hurricane is not a snow storm. If you are lucky, you’ll only be without power for a few weeks. But maybe all the trees land on your house and it will take about 6 months to get back to normal. And if you have a beach house, RIP. So come on down to Rainbow Row and enjoy all that Charleston has to offer.
