A sense of the High Street!! What gives?

To be honest it sounds like utter tosh. People do not want to live on a High Street either - they want to live on quiet side streets without 24/7 traffic.

And if there was/is a great demand for High St style shops then why are many sitting empty?

High St shmiii street - what the council need to be thinking about is a joint up plan between the development of Leith Docks and what happens at Seafield and Portobello. A pedestrian/cycle promenade from the dock entrance to Portobello. Proper Integration of the planned Leith "bypass" with the Harry Lauder Road and the Seafield roundabout (i.e. traffic lights aren't long term) and the A720. Future use alongside Seafield Rd - continuing commercial/industrial or?
