In the final 20 minutes of this episode (don't ask), we discusses the challenges and opportunities in transforming downtown Indianapolis to meet the needs of the new generation. The conversation covers examples like the AT&T building and the Stutz, which have been repurposed to attract more vibrant activities. Key issues such as parking, decision-making by CEOs, and the importance of creating a more live-work-play environment are debated. We touch on real estate investment challenges, the impact of the pandemic and riots, and ideas for urban development borrowed from cities like New York. The conversation concludes with a realistic game plan on running for local office.
