Kelly: Is there a downside? I’m thinking of people trying to find a parking place, for starters.
Horowitz: So we see that in places that have actually eliminated parking minimums, that we see fewer people driving at all and having cars and we see vehicle miles traveled decrease because people can get around via other mechanisms.
Well, now, would you look at that?! If we change the incentives, if we stop incentivizing driving by law, people change their behavior. In this case, they can save a ton of money by not needing a car.
and the folks where there isn’t parking plentiful should fuck off? and the fact that this article is about removing parking never even occurred to you?
Uh, what? This article is about housing, with a bit about how removing parking improves people’s lives. So of course it occurred to me that removing parking is a great thing.
oops, “Horowitz: So we see that in places that have actually eliminated parking minimums,”
