That rendering is too unambitious. Any surface parking downtown is a waste.
I have previously had the impression that they are prioritizing current residents’ opinions regarding the format of this development over the notion of maximizing housing here (both affordable and market rate.)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: 1000 units is the absolute minimum, and even that would seem a bit wasteful. 2000 is easily possible. 4000… now that would be some ambition! This is four full city blocks, FFS!
