And by bikini wax I mean the full Brazil thing.

Is there still a fur place here?

I like to remove/replace at a even rate.

I have no skin in the game but methinks you'll be getting pelted if you keep this up.

The mods on this board are notorious for having a hair-trigger temper.

Don't cut things too close, is my point.

Existing parking within a two-block radius can accommodate current and anticipated demand, with only minor midday weekday constraints at 1 pm. Any excess demand is modest and could be absorbed through nearby street parking, other lots, or shifts in commuter behavior. The proposed reduction in parkade supply aligns with City policy to reduce vehicle traffic and parking in the historic core.

Better Use of Land
The proposed redevelopment represents a strategic opportunity to transform underutilized parking in an ageing structure into a vibrant mixed-use community in an amenity-rich area of Victoria’s Downtown. The project supports the evolution of a more complete, walkable, and active urban environment. It aligns with City goals for a more sustainable, human-scaled downtown — reducing vehicular trips and introducing new residents

^From the developer's overview of the project.

I dunno.... even if we want to believe there's some good intention behind this mission I think we've reached the point where we have to ask: why is all the focus on downtown? Why aren't drastic reductions in parking being made at UVic or the big shopping centres? Shouldn't the university and the shopping centres also be "human scale"? (instead of giraffe scale or kaiju scale, or whatever scale we'd say they are now)

And then you have the seemingly irreconcilable contradiction between promoting an almost exclusively walkable but nevertheless amenity-rich downtown while also scaling back residential proposals just two or three blocks away in the vicinity of Broughton and Quadra or (a few blocks further) at the north end of the old town by Capital Iron. As an astute forumer on this very board has observed many times before, Victoria wants (expects) all of the perks and benefits of a very densely populated European-style urban environment, but Victoria doesn't want the very dense population that is necessary in order to make it work.
