I actually did. When I bought a house, we had parking minimums around here. And I'm also legally responsible for maintaining the PUBLIC sidewalk in front of my house.
Now the minimums are gone, and density went up. We have a couple of new slum boxes that are supposed to be "transit enabled", and of course most of people there have cars. Without parking. And so now the street parking is gone.
- cool_dude85 2y agoSo you bought a place with no parking spot, now there are a bunch of other people in a place without a parking spot, but you were here first?
- nayuki 2y ago> We have a couple of new slum boxes It's good to see how you honestly view apartment buildings: with condescension.
- cyberax 2y agoOh, absolutely. I grew up in one, after all. I'm fully fed up with all the urbanist nonsense because I _experienced_ it. There's nothing in urbanism but misery.
- dkarl 2y ago> now the street parking is gone By "gone," I think you mean "used."
- cyberax 2y agoPart of it is _gone_, as in "replaced by unused bike lanes". My local government _brags_ about the number of parking spaces eliminated in favor of bike lanes.
