Thanks LoneStar....I remember reading that now. It would be wise for the city to revise that in a way that rewards them for not including so many spaces. I think most of us can agree there is nothing sexy or timeless about having 8 levels of parking attached to any building. I always wonder what the garages will be used for in the far future....Small aliens? Robots?
