It’s ridiculous because Artists Emporium is essential for many of my friends in architecture that live in the North and West End. The U of M bookstore is just too far for a lot of the students and Michael’s inventory in comparison is trash for students.

In fact the U of M bookstore is supplied by Artists Emporium if I remember correctly so it’ll be really interesting to see how this plays out.

But yes parking minimums are outdated, promote car dependency, and make densification much harder. It’s not feasible to keep them in 2022 (they really should have never been implemented but you can say that for a lot of postwar urban development and zoning.)
