Shit point for who? The commuters who drive in from the outer burbs, or the people who live within the walkable area and provide the density needed to support a rich ecosystem of shops and restaurants within a close proximity? The point of this urban design trend is to not think of these regions as destinations, but rather as places you live in and so can avoid the car trips in the first place. If you can walk there, why is parking relevant? Is it friendly towards the people who live in suburban housing developments who need a car to get anywhere? No. But those people chose to live in a place where you need a car to get everywhere, so they shouldn't be surprised their lifestyle isn't accommodated in districts that have made a conscious decision to be less car-centric. "But only the rich people can afford to live in the cute small downtown!" Great... that's telling you something about the market desirability of small, dense walkable regions. Why don't we get rid of more zoning codes and build more places that the market demands?
