I love cities making these forward steps. Good job Milwaukee. And having served on a planning commission for nine years. Three years from start to finish a new comprehensive plan like this is light speed. Amazing. Best wishes.

Yes! There is so much to consider, it takes a lot to gain broad support for any major change! I have a lot of respect for the team, dealing with the public I can only imagine the amount of criticism they face, and I am not thinking of the constructive kind...

Milwaukee is amazing it should easily have a nice downtown/city and population in the metro as Minneapolis 😊 hoping our mayor can get the city to 1 million soon

It wont be quick, will prob take a decade or two, but I believe MKE can do it

Kind of a joke. No family will want to live in Milwaukee unless you fix MPS and the crime/traffic. The mayor is dreaming.

Two tough issues, not easy to fix. Maybe MPS needs to be broken up into smaller units to improve, IDK. And yes, the reckless driving needs to stop. Parts of MKE do quite well, take Bay View, the Lower East Side, Washington Heights, Brewers Hill or River West for example. A lot of homes in those areas sell with 5 or 10 offers, so they are quite in demand actually. But not all areas can and will evolve at the same time. It will take decades. And to your point, some may never. But what I like is the de-regulation of our zoning code. Too much gov. This will allow for private investments from local small-scale developers and then we can see if the people of MKE have it in them

@@MarcusMKE I think you make some excellent points. And I do believe it is a positive move with zoning. I watch your videos because you provide excellent insights. I love Milwaukee and it made me sad to leave my first house in Johnson woods. Though I do love my oak creek house.

@@alexbernstein1450 Thank you! When I talk about Milwaukee I usually refer to the metro area and Oak Creek is great! Things are changing. Who would have thought 5 years ago that West Allis would be the #1 hottest market in the area measured in % over list price sold? Glad you like my content, please mention it to your friends and give videos a like - really helps it grow!
