Insane, city government is completely lost. No off street parking requirement for urban village area’s needs to change…… anyone that thinks many of the residents won’t own a vehicle are Coo coo. Only people benefiting are the developers, and their laughing at the city and all the way to the bank. Thanks Mayor Murray & Diane Sugimura for ruining many nice neighborhoods with the impacts these builds have caused.
