You build parking garages to open up real-estate to be developed.

You build a parking garage somewhere in the Home Depot/Best Buy parking lot and then build 4 to 6 story mixed use developments that house 150 to 300 residential units, some office and more retail on top of the rest of the current surface parking. You could fit at least a Maywood Phase II sized development on that parking lot if you added a garage that could provide parking for the whole area.
