I’ve seen this first hand where I live. That’s not how it works at all.
A developer decided to build a 30-unit building with businesses on the ground floor, downtown, with no parking, in a city that is already lacking parking facilities, and we have busses and trams.
It was quickly a shit show, and suddenly the city decided it was a bad idea.
No fucking kidding?
As corsicanguppy said, we have regulations from learning lessons the first time.
Yup relatable situation. I lived briefly in a car dependent city, lacking parking requirements and yep. Lots of townhouses, with lots of cars, and no where to put them. Loved parking blocks away after a long night at work. Quick trip to the store? 15 minute walk to the car, 20 minute drive into city center, 15 minutes to find paid parking garage and then another hike to the store’s door.
It’s nightmare stuff. Lawmakers need to embrace and fund proper alternative transportation first - then they can work on minimizing parking.
