I've only been in the residential section once and didn't pay attention. Plaza does indeed take a lot of walk-up traffic and that Publix is not one of the major performers in the chain as a result (it's small and its largest customer base is GT students, many of whom walk).
I have noticed that Viewpoint's garage seems very empty (and they have 2 units left so for all intents that building is now full). 1280 West is half empty all the time (I know because I have lived here for 3 years). Mayfair is usually very empty (I know because I am moving there in 1 month and am there frequently). Metropolis retail parking is usually 70-90% full, but I have never truly had difficulty finding a spot to visit someone in the building for short periods of time (usually I walk). 1010 retail is only full Thurs-Sat night. 1075 retail parking is never full because I don't think people even know it exists.
And then I reiterate renters are less likely to have or even need a car as condo owners. You rent close to work, you're renting for a reason, you're most likely younger, - basically you're less apt to have a car.

I was one of the original residents of Plaza Midtown. I lived there from 2006 - 2011. So as you would say, I know because I lived there for more than 5 and a half years. I used to post pictures from my master bedroom of Aqua when it was being built. I did love the views from my two bedroom corner unit. As far as parking, it used to be some trouble parking for the Publix, but they started booting/towing the residents cars for not parking in the residential area of the parking garage. Also, Plaza Midtown, like other high rise condos, are full of renters. There are plenty of people who live in Midtown and work outside the perimeter. These are people that simply like living in the city. Because of the economy, everyone knows that there has been a rise in demand for renting, and that has nothing to do with age.
