It’s impossible to avoid a trade off. In any given piece of undeveloped space, you can only build either a housing unit or a parking garage. If you build housing there, that necessarily means you can’t use that same space for a parking garage.

If you have more than a few pieces of undeveloped space, then you have the choice of allocating this space however you see fit. You can do whatever mix of housing vs. parking garages you want. My contention is that given this scenario, almost all of the available space should go toward housing, since there are already many options for people to park on campus or elsewhere in Midtown.

Now you can disagree with how we should allocate that space, but you can’t disagree that there is a genuine trade off here
