It's also possible for Boeing to build planes that have room for vehicles so that you'd have your car when you travel, but it would increase the cost of flying to the point where no one could afford it, which is why no airlines would buy those planes in the first place.
Is it possible to include underground parking at this site in Goose Hollow? I'd assume so, but that's just an assumption. If underground parking were a requirement, it would increase costs to the point where this wouldn't be built. Most of these apartments are under 400 square feet. If they were building 2 bedroom condos, then yeah, there would be a need for parking. But 380 square foot studios are likely to attract car free urbanites.
Elliot Tower and Cornerstone Condominiums, which is diagonally across from the Elliot on Jefferson downtown, are perfect examples of one that needs underground parking and one that doesn't. This "Jefferson 14" is more like the Cornerstone Condos building.
We have to move past this idea that every apartment needs a parking space or two. In the suburbs, yes. Downtown or as close in as Goose Hollow? No.
