that if there is demand or parking space private developers will provide itand jin any case few downtown apartment dwellers own cars Like all audacious proposals this one has its critics They arguethat when land becomes so valuable for tall build logs that it is not economical to retain itfor arkln there willbe no arldn carefully and intelligently for new leader This is no rebuketo
