    cities are relaxing zoning laws to allow for denser housing, reducing parking mandates

    Ugh, we need parking mandates.

    Would be nice to see laws that make a mandatory maximum parking spots to something like 20-50% of the building’s human capacity

      No need. Developers are very profit driven so are unlikely to pay for more parking spaces than necessary

        Dunno. I think it’s important to have laws so luxury apartment buildings don’t give every apartment 1-2 car spots each.

        It reads like have a minimum parking mandate until their explanation because that’s what the city has.

        They are advocating for mandates with maximum parking spots, meaning limiting the total number to much less.
