Not to mention, why does it even need parking? Especially so much parking - I mean look at that photo and how many other garages there are in the vicinity. It should be an opportunity to reduce the parking ratio in the neighborhood. And the blank wall sucks. It seems like they should put microapartments along that wall and market them as artist studios. I mean, it would be appropriate given their two neighbors to the south. It's really too bad Amazon has killed bookstores, a retail space there that was a bookstore and also carried a select number of art supplies could probably do pretty well otherwise, and not be the sort of retail that would irritate the neighbors.

Other than that, the part above the podium isn't bad. Not groundbreaking, but not bad.
