Ahh, you're right, I just never noticed the residential nearby. But still, adding more residential will only increase the activity level wherever it is built.

I think it really depends on how it's done. Most residential neighborhoods don't have much of any foot traffic unless they have retail/restaurant/services there. And if you look at the places with luxury buildings they've recently built (e.g. over in the Kendall area), those places are dead zones except where there's ground level retail space.
