The NIMBY argument is bs for 2 main reasons:
1) (as stated above) the city isn't selling the parking structure (I can't believe they don't realize that) only the top and they arnt even renting a half of the total 700 some parking spaces to the developer.

2) they will get a public space out of the whole thing... it would have seating, trees, and grass. If they want a park so bad why not campaign for it to be on the old ymca lot (literally like 100 feet away (They already scared a developer away from that lot)) I would say that lot is actually better for a park then the library lot... For starters it doesn't have a road (technically its a lane) running through it, second it's bigger and not boxed in by 3 lots; it faces the street on 3 sides thus making it feel more open, and third it's right next to (not across the street from) an already big gathering space the transit center.

also petitioners are calling it a skyscraper haha
