The result is that people pretty much still need a car. As beggars we can't be choosers when it comes to this sort of development when we can't even provide the preconditions for good development to take place.

I call plagiarism; you must have copied one of my previous posts from a long time ago (just kidding!).
While I do agree with you, I can throw this development a tiny bit of bone here... They can still build ontop of a parkade. It's hilarious that the parkade takes up more ground sq.ft. than the actual building but that's Winnipeg for ya!
