The key to making the project acceptable to locals is a plan that will address this concern. Bus passes/car share included in rent, and adequate fines for the rule-breakers.
That being said, I like the idea of the project and what it brings to the table. Still not too keen on the brick fortress architecture, especially since this looks like a revised design and I can't tell if the front still has a partially glass facade. But it's a promising idea, and offers hope that C'Town won't become a sea of buildings with parking garages at street level.
