Hey Chen/All

Here's the "Easy to Hard" map for your use.

ALSO

here's the list of variables I've been putting together. Try to include as many in your pieces as possible:

Variables:

 

Yuppies

Janitors

Disney ‘hipsters’

Green Tech

Oil Prices

Overcrowding

Hotels

Affordable Housing

Disneyland growing

Downtown growing

Local Food

Local Retail

Workforce housing for station area

Norwalk City Center

Green Line

Local streetcar/other transit

Norwalk becomes center of “Cleveland” area

California state mandate for affordable housing

I've attached a cleaner version of the same image--there were white spots in the rail alignment that I thought looked bad.

BTW--here's an explanation of what this shows (this should be included in the diagram somewhere, chen):

The colors on this map represent an estimated basic "difficulty level" for developing on each parcel. Although this type of information is very hard to determine scientifically, especially given the timeframe of the project, we felt that such information would help us assess areas of opportunity and difficulty. The white area is the existing station footprint. The lightest blue areas are currently owned by a municipality (Norwalk or Santa Fe Springs) and could be easily developed. The next lightest areas are generally industrial tracts used mostly for outdoor storage (only small buildings, if any, have been constructed). The darker areas are industrial, institutional, or commercial areas that have had greater investment and currently have sizable, high-quality buildings on the grounds. The darkest areas correspond to multifamily housing tracts that would be the most difficult to build upon given their residential nature. It is also important to note that the medium-shaded area immediately to the west of the station is the bus facility for the City of Norwalk. Although this facility is owned by the city, it will likely need to be maintained in some form throughout the project timeframe. Alterations to the grounds/structure, however, should be easier than on other parcels.



Also,

I'm calling my first diagram "give and take" it'll show the network of 'gives' and 'takes' between the different stakeholders (i.e. disney gives funding and takes reduced affordable housing in anaheim)
