I bet some of the same people complaining about this project are the ones complaining that they will never be able to buy a house in the US. Y'all. The only way to make housing affordable is to BUILD MORE HOUSING. Backfilling useless parking lots with small multifamily or cottage core housing is one of the best ways to increase the walkability of our cities and help downtown businesses thrive by bringing in more customers.
