Quite a timeline, though unfortunately culminating in 2026 with a very non-committal "it's not a no" in terms of #parkingreform https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/09/nyregion/nyc-parking-cars-history.html And yet we could get said #parking reform with ONE CALL to #DOT my #YouTube #video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys&t #mamdani #climate #cars #pollution #airquality #socialism

Parking minimums built the sprawl we are now spending billions trying to undo.

They require spaces per unit and that shapes everything: parcel size, building separation, impervious surface, walkability. Removing minimums doesn't remove parking. It removes the mandate that car dependency be built into every project by law.

Removing a parking minimum isn't anti-car. It's anti-mandate. The market decides what's needed.

A suburban grocery will still build parking after minimums are removed - customers need it. A transit-oriented apartment will build less because residents don't. That calibration to actual demand is what a functioning market does. The mandate prevented it for 70 years.

@TheOverheadWire “Another way cities are cutting back on pavement is by dropping regulations that require a minimum number of parking spaces for new residential or commercial buildings. Buffalo, New York; Austin, Texas; and Minneapolis are among the cities that have changed these policies in recent years.” #ParkingReform #zoning
