There really is no easy way to get around there--the residential areas are so maze-like and identical you can't find your way around, the retail component is entirely separate and so big you need a car to get from one end to the other, and they decided to put public transit in last instead of first, which generally means that it's never going to happen, or, if it does, it costs many times as much because the transit district has to buy city land from unwilling sellers instead of open land. The little pockets of good ideas that planners were able to sneak in (like the alley-loaded neighborhood) are outweighed by a giant wave of crud.

The city is getting involved. They'll probably install meters throughout the parking lot and consider their job done. Thank God! The city is getting involved.
