People get angry because there's JUST ENOUGH parking for it to be worth it to chaotically circle and fight over spots. I'd imagine reducing spaces to the point

I'd imagine reducing spaces to the point where the assumption is "there is no parking" instead of "if I fight hard enough I can find a space" would actually reduce the number of people searching and driving in the city center in the first place.
Similar to the observation that expanded highways don't actually reduce congestion, they just attract more cars.
- corty 6y agoIf there is an increase in traffic after you have expanded the highway, you are going in the right direction. If it is levelling off, you have gone far enough. Then congestion will reduce. The argument that more roads do attract more cars just shows that we are still planning in a state of poverty. It is completely backwards. It is like saying "don't give the starving more food, they'll just eat more, and more starving will beg".
