    I'm just commenting on the "parking garages will be located on the edge of the district" part. So the idea is for at least some residents to still have cars, just don't park them right next to their apartment. I work from home and have gym, supermarket, train station and restaurants walking distance from home but I still use my car on the weekends to go climbing or hiking. Having parking farther away from home is a nice compromise. What's American about it?

    Not sure why i commented that way, wasn't funny or fair. You understand their plans and appreciate them, so there wasn't a reason for me to say something judgemental really.
