City Planning in Austin in Short Sighted

I have been perusing one of my favortie BB's at SkyscraperPage Forum and noted that several changes are in store for Austin. The worst one is the idea of a "Crestview Station" located somewhere around Lamar and Airport Blvd. Argh! The thought of putting in some huge and probably doomed shopping center in a viable mid-town neighborhood just irks me! Crestview is one of the few "family friendly" neighborhoods left in town with a time warp feel from the 1950's. I am worried that such a big endeavor like the Crestview Station will ruin that feel and destroy the shopping center on Woodrow where the IGA and Crestview Pharmacy now reside. This IGA is the only neighborhood grocery store I know of in town that is still afloat and it is heartless to destroy it after all these years. It's bad enough all of these people have come into Crestview and torn down existing structures to build huge homes that have nothing to do with the existing architecture in the area. Now they want to build some urban mall? Whatever are they thinking? Austin is terrible at city planning and just can't leave well enough alone.
