And I don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with minimum numbers of parking spots, or giant parking lots that are unutilized during the night or while you're not at work. Parking spots at place should like Costco are notoriously bad for the planet and aren't some of the least efficient things possible. At some point, the things you value (such as your parks and woods and scenery) are going to brush up against this suburban sprawl and you're going to be upset. If you value green spaces, you should be encouraging the disuse of cars and mass parking lots.
