@Yondoza@anewbeginning Parking is a huge tax on everything. Parking minimums means that the government forces every business to build the cost of parking in to all their prices. Every house and apartment has the cost of parking added to it. In the case of a highrise apartment this can be an extra $50K on to the price of the apartment.
Governments could instead force businesses and housing developers to put that money toward public transport.
The forced cost of parking in the USA is more than the entire national debt.
