I also didn't really understand "mykn" posts whether he was serious or joking and why he would feel unsafe.

I think this building is an improvement and would expect to see much greater development begin to occur in anticipation of the street car. There are plenty of underutilized spots, including next door at the Burger King or across the street at the Avis parking lot. I am guessing if Darlene and mykn really live close by they are really going to hate if the Netherlands at 38th and Main gets redeveloped.

Probably somewhere around 164939227th & Metcalf in beige paradise.

I was trolling, Darlene's is an actual troll.

Darlene's standard refrain is "I'm just a woman so I don't like parking garages because they make me feel unsafe, I wish we had endless planes of surface lots instead". That, in good faith, shouldn't be made fun of but instead should be a good chance for us to talk about how to make urban areas more safe for people who are worried about their personal safety. However Darlene is such an obvious troll that I give zero shits, which apparently came across in the effort of my counter-trolling.

Edit: I do legitimately live across from this development, Linwood & Baltimore

Did notice there is ground floor retail but it's sat empty so far.

Why not just offer these retail spots for free or deeply discounted. It's an eye sore when these ground retail spots just sit empty
