The comment just said, that the function of N that gives the number of parking spots (really it's just going to be a proportionality factor) is "set nearly randomly". Nothing in your comment counters that assertion. Which I personally don't find implausible (although that is without any exposure to the decision process in Austin in particular)
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoIt's not "set nearly randomly". It's a function of the estimated number of adult occupants, based on the number of bedrooms I believe. Besides, the argument isn't "let's look at the calculation for required number of spots and tweak it if necessary", it's "let's get rid of parking altogether and pretend like people won't just still drive and park on the street."
- hnaccount_rng 3y agoIt’s also not “abolish all parking” it’s “don’t force parking”. Or rephrased in a libertarian way “if there is a need for parking the market will provide it” (I make no comment on whether to expect a positive or negative outcome of this experiment) I mean, you seem to be adamantly opposed. I assume for good reason (at least in your mind). Why not make an argument that actually relates to the proposal? At least I would give your opinion more weight that way
