Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

This is exactly the point. The *perception* is that parking is hard. The reality is that it isn’t. The problem is perception, not reality. You don’t need to fix reality. And in fact adding more reality parking wouldn’t change an already divergent from reality perception.

I mean not entirely true, you could bring perception closer to reality by building more visible parking. But that's like, kind of against the point. Less visible is better, and culturally we need to adjust to understanding that available parking doesn't always look like a sea of asphalt between the road and the store.

Downtown Kitchener is hardly bustling.

I understand the Christmas market was very, very busy today.

It always is (inside city hall always seems to be overcrowded too), but that's hardly the norm for downtown. I don't think special events disprove the point.
