This is a great idea, but just like everything else in this region, talk is cheap. Cincinnati city council has been fighting for years over a: subway, streetcar, lightrail, anything better than the Metro and Tank bus services for mass transit, and still nothing has happened. How long has the Banks project been talked about, and finally this past spring concrete was finally laid!? As I stated previously, it is great that there is a want/drive/initiative to get ideas moving in this city, but lets be honest there are too many people that are content with the statusquo. Personally I believe we should be focusing on different cultures, building up cultural ares (i.e. Little Italy, China Town, etc.) then implement the technology. We can build this city up with all the latest and greatest technology in the world, but without people to use it, or even want to use it, then how is this doing us any good? Because we only have approximately 330,000 people, leaving us in the bottom 50 of the most populated U.S. cities, that would be like the state of Montana starting the next big city: no one to start it, and no one to run it. I like the idea, but other issues needs to be addressed before this technological city emerges from the shadows.

Perhaps I am an eternal optimist, but I look at this point in Cincinnati’s historical timeline as a critical—and exciting—crossroads. I see momentum; strong leadership; a positive and hopeful spirit among the community; and organized efforts to stop political negativism and the groups that have habitually halted progress.
The recipe for success here includes all of the above plus a unique Cincinnati civic personality that is alive with creativity, ideas and energy.
If we can symbiotically work toward building the stronger technological structure (streetcars, light rail, urban development, the Banks, etc.) while nurturing, recognizing, rewarding, and supporting the creativity and energy that is present right now in our city’s core… collectively, we just might ‘graduate’ to the next and even better step in our city’s history.
Until someone ‘forces’ me to believe differently, I am going to remain hopeful.

I personally think technological development has to go side-by-side with population growth. We cannot expect people to move in masses to an underdeveloped city. Advance in infrastructure has to be encouraged just like ethnic multiplicity.
