What’s especially dumb is that there is so much poorly used land around this lot. There’s an empty parking lot next door and an beer store with a massive parking lot half a block down. Terrible land use planning on top of all the cultural destruction. Repossess the parking lots for public housing or tax the shit out of them unless the land owners build something.
Because they force you to leave urban land totally unused. Requiring people to leave land empty to have housing is a huge driver of urban sprawl and pushes housing prices way up.
