Samschick was previously adamant that Corner had to be demolished to make the site work. But he (and his architects) didn't really sell me on the why. Meanwhile, near neighbors were more interested in traffic and parking concerns.
Ultimately, my main point wasn't quite clear: The current design is what is required to have underground parking on the site. The underground parking
itself is what's causing the problem.
