Gov'ts can do 3 things - encourage something, do nothing, or discourage something. Parking minimums encourage people to drive cars. This is LA taking a small step towards picking winners (cars...) just little bit less.

- andys627 7y agoNot encouraging driving is not the same as discouraging driving. Eliminated parking minimums neither discourages or encourages driving.

- eesmith 7y agoThe point is to tone down the encouragement to get people to use cars, which is what the old policy did. You cannot both encourage people to use cars and encourage people to not use cars - it's a waste of money.
