> How did it ever get here? Requiring more than 2 parking spots per apartment is insane.... especially for "affordable housing". People who live near new property developments don't want to end up with their streets completely full of parked cars from residents and guests of the new building. I can't say it's unreasonable for the existing residents to feel that way. I lived in a neighborhood where that happened, and parking got so bad it was difficult for people to visit me. That kind of parking situation is the kind of thing that people are willing to deal with in NYC, not the suburbs. So they pass laws to require parking spaces. This particular example is extreme though.
