Ten-twenty years form now the people living their may really need the parking if they don't work nearby or have kids in hockey.
If they really need the parking, they'll pay for it. If they really need it but aren't willing to pay for it, they'll move someplace where it's a price they are willing to pay, won't they?
Developers would build the least amount of parking they could get away with, wouldn't this lead to parking shortages and cause people to move to new developments outside of town. which would cause one spouse to drive into town if they work in downtown kitchener causing more congestion into downtown. It looks like it would encourage sprawl.
