Unfortunately some cities forget to provide alternatives:
If you drop parking lot requirements you need to provide people with access to a mode of transportation.
- bobtheborg 2y agoNope. The article is much more like "if you drop parking lot requirements, you need to demand price parking so there are always a couple of spots available, drivers have incentives to leave, etc."
- niemandhier 2y agoThat holds for shopping and recreational areas. In residential areas it does not work so well. The backbone of society is provided by moderately paid people: Health workers, construction workers, police officers, factory workers. We must enable these people to get to work. The solution so far was: enable them to own a car. We can choose to let the market handle that: people probably will negotiate for higher salaries if cost of living goes up, higher salaries will drive prices and the spiral continues.
- rcpt 2y agoNo you don't. Parking can exist just fine. The only ask is that the person parking their car pays for it (instead of everyone else paying).
- muttonhead 2y agoRemoving parking requirements doesn't ban parking, it just lets the market / builder / business owner decide how much parking to provide, instead of wildly over-estimated minimums.
