The retail spaces are built, and they will fill up someday. I'm pretty happy with the mix of businesses that exist in Burien, I'm excited to see when a new one opens up, if there isn't something here then it's at Southcenter or Downtown (I don't mind actually leaving Burien to get something I want). i'm kinda meh.

Let's get real. First the condo and retailspace of the new developement are way over priced. Some prices that only Seatlle could carry (and this is not Seattle) and there is currently no need for another hotel/motel. There are plently of vacancies in the existing hotels-just go to Pac Hiway and take a look on any particular evening. Lot of vacancy signs lit up (and yes any new hotel would still be competing with Pac Hiway). So what is the answer? Lower prices for the new developement (which is out of the cities control) and waiting for the economy to fatten up which will probably not happen in 2010. It's wait and see (while crossing your fingers).... No idea?
