High-rise would wipe out needed parking

Hold on - a developer who doesn't own all the land wants to obliterate 2,300 heavily used parking spaces for a speculative office-retail project, and no one is asking where all those cars will go ("High-rises may replace Government Center garage," Oct. 24)? Obviously it's backed by influential community and political leaders, but they don't care about parking. The Boston Redevelopment Authority should. Mr. Palmieri, do your job!
