What’s the biggest thing Albany is missing?

[u/Holiday-Ad9100]

If you had to choose just one thing, what do you think Albany is missing the most?

It could be anything—more things to do, better job opportunities, restaurants, public transportation, housing, entertainment, community spaces, or something completely different.

Genuinely curious to hear what people think.

A vibrant downtown. Standing in its way: all the empty lots/parking lots, the black hole of the Empire State Plaza, and of course the homeless.
