Speaking of parking I had to park up at Bandwidth HQ for the State Fair today and I would recommend that lot and take the shuttle. A couple from the Fair today.

What a nice day to be at the Fair. Nothing to be grumpy about today.
It’s sad really. Hundreds of spaces in a deck across the street and they can’t figure out a way to program that nice area out front?

clearly monetizing it is more important
Once someone who has had one to many drinks, puts there car in drive instead of reverse and drives through the museum, only then will change happen.

You need us suburbanites to support good restaurants or you end up with same Glenwood ave. Embrace us. You are us, just misplaced.

How do we stop externalizing the cost of cars so that people living in suburban areas pay the full price instead of shifting the hidden or indirect expenses of vehicle use onto society, the environment, and future generations?

In this same context/light, utility infrastructure costs based on actual implication of a dwelling and the associated utility costs.
I’m shocked more visitors to downtown don’t use the parking decks. With a sign this obvious, it should be so easy!

i kinda get it…but often a walk or short bike ride can provide a level of experience or encounter that allows you to absorb things at the non-enclosed level, sure, an open pipe subaru blasting by can briefly ruin it, but I have enjoyed some walks from parking decks.
You’re kinda talking to a brick wall, just FYI lol. The BoltMan does NOT walk!!!

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts: If a small 4-plex with one-bedroom units and only on-street parking was built within 3/4 of a mile from Fayetteville or Glenwood, how much of a rent discount do you think tenants might expect? Would it be around $100, more than $100, a dealbreaker entirely, or would it make no difference?
$100 discount from what number?
Also, what are the finishes and sizes of these units? Is there some sort of baseline market presumption you are working from?
