If you lived there and didn’t get one of those 17 parking spots you might easily get run over by the speeding cars surrounding the property on both sides trying to find a parking spot! Huntingdon Station?? Nowhere near this area!!
Is this insanity ever going to STOP? This neighborhood is overrun with apartments and no where near enough parking. God forbid there’s a fire – fire houses should also be built. But I guess the city isn’t concerned with the safety of the residents as long as they get the financial benefit of all this unnecessary building.
