Unsustainable Growth

While I was working full-time at Formlabs the nearby building pictured above was under construction. Two plus years later, it appears to be nearing completion. At the time, I bemoaned the fact that its three-story parking basement would contribute that many more cars to an already untenable commuter log jam. Now, an even larger building with what appears to be a four-story underground parking garage is under construction. It is only a matter of time before the owner of the junkyard (right side, middle of photo) sells out and yet another mega building goes up. I guess the desire for a larger tax base trumps any commitment to thoughtful urban planning.
