This is so fucked up to be honest. Just looking at the block that the Starbucks is sitting on it could be used much more effectively (if parking and roads were not a priority in north america).

A similar footprint in a european town/city could probably have 3 or 4 low-rise developments on it. We have developers and governments screeming housing crisis and a large city sprawl issue, yet we use space so ineffectively.
