“What’s finally sunk in with many people is that we have parking minimums and yet housing maximums, which means we have too many cars and too little housing. We have things the wrong way around."

Shifting gears: why US cities are falling out of love with the parking lot

Cities are loosening rules on building parking spots with new buildings: ‘It’s about the climate, it’s about walkability’

@TheWarOnCars ppl say this but if you live in the suburbs, where housing and office space is much cheaper, and schools are better, you need a car. War on cars is great for the childless and affluent but for everyone else there are cars.

Housing shortage: you don't like it then buy land and build your own home. A friend who did this got financing just like for a morttage except it came with a checkbook so he could pay contractors who built it

@smokeygeo @TheWarOnCars There is a finite amount of land. "Just build more suburbs" is not a viable solution to the problem.
