Rohnert Parking

Yesterday, Charlene sent me an article headlined A new downtown in four years? Rohnert Park approves plan to bring ‘missing heart’ to city. The article had a bunch of interesting quotes, including this direct challenge to Petaluma's resistance to the Charlie Palmer faced hotel:

“Premier lodging is extremely challenging in the North Bay and the entire wine region,” he said. “A premier experience would put Rohnert Park on the map. People will end their wine tasting journey, come back, park their car and spend the rest of the evening in downtown Rohnert Park.”

Which, I mean, I wanna give some side-eye to the "hey, let's build a tourist industry on people driving around while consuming alcohol" attitude towards drunk driving, and wonder about further encouraging the "upscale recreational drug use" destination marketing, but respect the "Petaluma, you're on notice!" pro wrestling vibe.

I didn't look closely at the pictures. Today on Reddit there's this gem, which is best summarized as "Rohnert Parking".

It's a shame we can't see further than "let's stack a story or 2 of residential on an '80s mall".

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
