Thinking about this project again it's the easiest for anyone to do from a planning aspect and it's arguable that a better development would take years to pencil out. Still, I'd prefer a vacant lot than an industrial site that will take decades to redevelop.

In any event, it's extremely frustrating that Phoenix didn't do the requisite upzoning and related planning for the train prior to its construction so we're almost guaranteed even more crap like this from unimaginative developers for a few years until the city gets a clue. It's odd they completely leave the light rail off the map but kept its roundabouts.
