Please don’t consider this centrally located site for a parking garage should the hotel complex fall through. Parking degrades walkable downtowns by creating uninteresting dead space where pedestrian activity should be enhanced.

Drop-off zones, ADA parking and shuttles from remote parking are healthier alternatives to support tourism and commerce. Subsurface parking with retail at ground level is another alternative to massive multistory parking structures.

7/27/23: In the past week several people told me City Camper is dead and Brevard is being sued. Also, I have asked Brevard government and one anti-Camper commissioner to advise if City Camper is a "private equity" or other unregulated investor group. So far, no response.

The only named CC associates I am aware of are the Chicago-based attorney filing papers and a vice -president spokesperson. I suggest that if (1) City Camper was entirely the doing of non-resident and/or anonymous wealth seeking above-market returns, and (2) this project of extreme gentrification did not further Brevard's development plan, residents and government should said "no" in the beginning.

With the downturn in short-term rental bookings, rampant inflation, and an uncertain economy, who’d be building a new hotel (or whatever you want to call it)? If the economy picks up and occupancy rates come roaring back, it will be a different story.

Beauty in aesthetic design is subjective. With that said, my hope is that an architectural style that blends with downtown is more cost-effective.

And good luck staffing it when it does get built. Brevard is having trouble enough keeping restaurants open due to inadequate staffing.
