>>1954444>Parking minimums are built on private propertyThe property owner (business) has no choice, is forced, to meet the minimum, regardless of how many parking spots the business deems to be enough. The fact that it is built on private property means jack shit if the owner didn't make that choice.
>When you take away parking minimums, you get something like Culdesac, where the parking is externalized on public streetsLegislative and enforcement problem, the onus is not on the property owner to make sure their customers are not parking on the street. Also I doubt anyone would prefer that half of the street's propertes' land be surface parking instead of the land being fully utilized even if it means on-street parking.
>people who complain about how street parking "takes up public space" and "serves mostly outsiders at the expense of the local populace" shouldn't ever be talking about bike lanes again.Should we extend this logic to sidewalks also?
