not all structured parking is created equal. a well designed parking garage with ground floor, street facing retail is light years better for the urban streetscape than a surface parking lot. granted, we historically have seen horrendous, atrociously bad design for structured parking, but some of the recent ones here in chicago have been better in the sense that there is at least an architect that is trying to create something more interesting than the bland, banal, street-killing garages of old.
