> Paris is already in the process of removing more than 70% of its on-street car parking spaces. That seems like a terrible idea. This just makes it so that people have to depend more on slower modes of transport such as public transit or bikes. In cities with well managed population density, there’s nothing that can match cars because they take you direct to destinations at high speeds with no waiting times or stops. Such a drastic reduction in parking spaces means people will lose time, convenience, and likely travel less. While committed urbanists may see that as a win, it will be a hit to quality of life for many who expect road infrastructure for vehicles as a basic service.
