What's with all the parking lot hatred?
Sometimes I think that UT members need to get over themselves. I know, I know, this is the last bastion of urbanity fighting the good fight against the forces of the evil car... BUT...
1. The Porsche dealership is a CAR DEALERSHIP. Of COURSE it's going to have a parking lot. Fer Gawd's sake, people! (Remember, they agreed to move since their original building site sat on the first Parliament building site. So it's not like they're uncaring about the city. OTOH... they SELL CARS.)
2. As has been pointed out by others, the No Frills is all about re-purposing an otherwise abandoned building (except the two wirereaders grabbing copy for the Sun upstairs, but I digress...). However, what's up with the 'you can't walk across parking lots because there are cars in them' silliness. C'mon people, you've never seen a parking lot before? That's what you do, park your car, then walk across the parking lot to the store. Courage! Y'all can do that without the car to park.
