“It’s not like the government is forcing you to buy a car!”

If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    Underground spots are roughly 20 to 50 thousand dollars each. Surface lots are only a few thousand per spot.

    Do you want to invest in my coffee shop idea? I need a few million dollars to build the required parking.

      It’s hard to think beyond the individualistic businesses oriented thinking. I see you, it’s ok.

      But I was thinking about public parking spaces.

          People that need parking spaces choose their representatives and attend city halls. May we need to do the same…

        Parking regulations don’t apply to public projects. Strong Towns well documents the problem with parking regulations as they are written and applied in practice. I highly recommend checking it out.
