    The stupid thing here is that mass transit, pedestrians, and cyclists are all way better for small businesses than huge parking lots and enforced car dependency. There’s lots of studies that show that car dependency really only benefits big box stores and big corporate chains. Fucking dumbasses.

      It’s because it requires removal of 138 parking spaces.

        Right, but there’s lots of studies that show that those parking spaces are actually much more beneficial to everyone- business included- as bike lanes, bus lanes, seating stalls, and nearly anything else besides parking.
