I'm not saying any of the things you're attributing to me. 1) What vehicle ownership infringement are you talking about? All I said that if I have two parking spots and own one car, I should be allowed to rent out half of the duplex to someone who also has just one car, and without having to build two additional parking spots in order to specify an arbitrary law. I would understand not being allowed to rent to someone with 3 cars if I only have one free parking spot, as that would infringe to some extent on my neighbors. 2) I absolutely don't want to take property rights from people whose properties are grandfathered in. I want more property rights for everyone, not fewer. And I don't know why you thought I was suggesting evictions. I'm suggesting that unless there is a safety issue, then new properties should have similar rights as well.

1) Let's let the number of street parking spots in a city be equal to 10. Currently your new duplex would keep that number 10, assuming 2 cars per household. Under your plan, that would reduce the number of street parking spots to 8, assuming the same number of cars per household. Of course now that the law has been changed, more people want to build duplexes, to take advantage of thier property. 4 more duplexes are built in the city. Now you have zero street parking spaces remaining. So where do new vehicle owners park? They have to pay. So your new rule has transferred what was previously a public expense to a private expense. Basically upping expenses on vehicles for others is ownership infringement. It would be similar if someone built a factory next to your house which used up 99% of the water in the city and then said..."how am I infringing on water usage? I paid for it." Well, yes but no one else can use water now, or you have upped the cost of water for the neighborhood. 2) People often use cars to generate income through being able to drive to work.
