I'd consider Midtown and the Whole Foods as downtown.

It is interesting, everyone I talked to was great. Way safer than Chicago (probably cuz everyone is gone, ;)

The one thing that really surprised me was that all the black people I talked to WANTED white kids to move to the city and bring it back. They weren't worried about gentrification, they were more worried about decay.

The property taxes are too high and are pushing old people onto the street. 5k a year was not uncommon for taxes on lots of places I looked at. Rent would barely cover the taxes, leaving nothing for upkeep, so a rental market is not viable. I applaud the move at the next auction to require local buyers.
