don't expect any wheel reinventions here from developers who are taking a massive risk just from putting shovels in the ground in the first place.
land values in that part of town are NOWHERE high enough to warrant structured or underground parking. and if you try to mandate it, they'll walk.
they're gonna play it as safe as they can.

I didn't expect property values to be high in a troubled area.........but your bolded
'nowhere' made me curious.
So I went looking on Zillow.
Holy @#$#
I've only seen real estate that cheap in Detroit and maybe rural Mississippi.
That's insane. There's a fully detached listed for only 14k.
Even if it was knockdown.........just wow.
It was hardly alone.....while some prices crested six figures....there was lots of under 50k stuff.
Now, I know, I know, Toronto Real Estate prices are insane......but I was just curious so jumped on realtor.ca and looked for the cheapest listing for a house anywhere in the City of Toronto, detached, semi, townhouse, w/e.
I found exactly 2 listings at $499,000CAD, roughly $400,000USD. That's it.
The mind boggles.
