About 16% of Somerville households don't have a car (according to the census). > Do you think a developer would risk only selling to that market? Some developers would choose to build off-street parking anyway, even though it's not required, and that's fine. I'm saying we should remove the requirement to build parking. > It seems like that would limit what they could sell the units for, and as a buyer I would have to think carefully about being able to re-sell the unit. This is another way of saying that the units would be cheaper. That's a good thing!
