More townhouses is preferable to more detached housing; higher density is more environmentally responsible, and allows for a demographically diverse neighbourhood, as people age and give up their larger detached homes. We need housing on this site to generate property tax revenue.
Traffic flow would be better with this option.
The green space is more than adequate in size; St. George's Square is nearby, and doesn't ever appear to be very busy.
As the parking garage is structurally sound, it would add too much to the cost to tear it down and create more parking.
