Another former Rite Aid, another Dollar Tree. This one's going in at Cottage Hill Road near Lloyds Lane.

Online Plan Room | LDI Line

How many more of these Dollar Trees do we actually need? I just hope the one on Government and Michigan Avenue doesn't become one too.

We've been having a Dollar Tree on DIP for 3 and half years. Another Dollar Tree store should go to both Citronelle and Satsuma.

We actually need another arcade entertainment center rather than another Dollar Tree. This is Dollar General all over.

Mobile County is currently the fastest growing area in the state for new construction sales by %. Growing 45% year over year compared to Baldwin County (2.9%), Birmingham (5.3%) and Huntsville (-7.1%). Yet ironically we have the lowest inventory at just 4 left in the past month compared to 128, 385, and 173 for the other three areas. Meaning that Mobile County is selling new construction homes as basically as soon as they hit the market.


A couple of projects going on
A new subdivision is currently starting contruction somewhere in Mobile (not sure where I know its somewhere tho because of bidckerk)
Several contracts for store constructions/renovations in the Mobile area along with one in Chickasaw
Contract Designs plans going out for multi-residential buildings in Mobile and Saraland
As stated before about 150 plats of land were approved to be subdivided for home construction in the Mobile County Commission Meeting this past week.


Daphne planning commission is looking at a PUD for 51 new single family homes
Fairhope looking to add 15 more houses (maybe more? not sure Fairhope's Planning Commission agenda )

Found a website that shows what place can/are/have gentrified and so most of inner city Mobile falls in these areas

I’m not sure I trust that too much. It says the median income of someone living downtown in 2010 was 23k, but that the median home price was 330k. What person making 23k a year is buying a 330k house? It also says downtown has lost population, and that Spring Hill also lost population. Says oakleigh’s population declined by 20%.

My guess is that the population changes are based on the census and estimates which as we all know, has been incredibly inaccurate with the Bay Area these past 10 years

Can cities not carry out population estimates for unofficial use? Like how they’ll count people at parades and it’s basically an educated guess that’s close to the real number. Can they not estimate the population of each area like that?

Frankly its easier than that, really just need to keep up with 3 maybe 4 variables: Housing Units built (single or multi residential), houses/units up for sale/rent, average persons per household in multi residential and single residential housing unit, and maybe housing units destroyed (although just like uninhabited houses won't change the numbers very much unless a lot is destroyed at once like a natural disaster). It creates a relatively simple equation that's pretty easy to track as all the above have to be documented in some way, shape, or form. Seems to fairly accurate and much better than just interpolating data for 10 years. All you really need is a super computer to do it all which given how much population knowledge is to the government, it would be a worthy investment

Don't forget births and deaths.

Here that doesn’t matter as 1) that adds too much complexity to the equation taking the calculations from a simple algebra equation to a calculus equation. 2) it just doesn’t matter here, if someone dies their house will either be resold/abondanded/or destroyed which already ties into the equation. If someone is born it’s not gonna change the “Persons per Household” so that becomes moot as well.
