All of the tall buildings that went up in the late 1980s were built in a traditional manner with no parking podiums at the base. I guess some of them have parking structures attached, but not all of them do. What happened downtown to require these ugly podiums to be built?

Yes, and it's very rude.  I'm not shocked by this, just very disappointed that it's still happening.
