That's a problem for the other residents, whose visitors now can't ever find parking, and any businesses in the area, whose customers can't either. Those people obviously wouldn't want meters in front of their homes and businesses, either. The politically easiest solution was the parking space minimum.
- zip1234 7y agoParking space minimums solve a non-problem. If people want parking they will build it. They shouldn't be forced to though as it adds expense and makes things more car dependent, reinforcing the need for parking. It is a vicious car dependent cycle.
- boring_twenties 7y ago> If people want parking they will build it. Maybe they will, but not before first overloading the existing available public parking, which may be a non-problem to you but apparently isn't to lots of people who vote.
- andoriyu 7y agoCan confirm. Used to live in Hollywood, CA hot area. I had a parking space. Having a guest that drives a car - impossible. However, in LA while it's required to have parking space minimum for new residential buildings it's not required to give those spaces for free to resident. I lived in a new apartment complex with tons of parking, but none of it was used. It was 200$ for extra spot and not guest parking. Another issue is those dumb plaza everywhere. 50 businesses and 20 parking spots.
