I would argue requiring parking and elevators fall exactly into my point that the problem is restrictive zoning. In the general sense the solution here should not be forcing people to make do with terrible living situations, it should be fixing the laws causing these problems. If you want more ADA units, require a certain % are ADA compliant. That basically means in larger buildings the first floor units will all be ADA. Do we really need the elevator? Do we really need to still mandate off street parking a world of Uber and soon self driving cars?

That's not what the law says. If the building was built after 1991, residents and employees with disabilities must be able to reasonably access all apartments, period. Re: Uber, etc. I do not live in the future, nor do the people next door. So if you put a 20 story high-rise on my street, there will be no place for the people to park their cars. The tech world's focus on disruption and telling everyone to go fuck off is really irritating. Nobody cares about disabilities until they need to deal with such a situation. Declaring cars irrelevant is a completely absurd position for something like 90% of the US population, but hey, lets screw up the neighborhood anyway!
