That's my take on it anyway.

No question that there's too much retail jammed into the +15 system. Sure it's handy to not need a coat to grab lunch, but I have to believe there's a better way. Like possibly having stuff accessible from both the +15 AND the street (I've seen examples, but it's certainly not the norm).
