Chad, at what age does one cease to be an aging hipster?

You’re right on the money! Also, I’m a little unclear as to why the developer had to do a traffic study back in 2008, yet that’s null and void now that the development is back on the table? I feel not only for the 335 residents who have to look at this parking monstrosity, but the residents along Ponce Place and Wilton who will see a huge increase in the number of cars cutting through to Clairmont (assuming W. Ponce will be a complete disaster as a result!)

I can’t decide, were I resident with a view of the proposed parking garage, if I’d rather look at the garage or if I’d rather have apt. balconies there. Seems like there would be less people looking in my back yard/condo balcony if it were parking v.s wrapped apts. Has there been any discussion of what the landscaping requirement for the parking means? Will there be planters off of each level of the parking deck? If there could be cascading plantings there, that would look much better and help with air quality.

I also agree that entry/exit from such a big project should be from two different streets.
