  • There has to be a way to incentivize tenants to forego cars for a project like this to succeed. I kind of understand the 1:1 ratio thing, because while I agree it’s ridiculous to cut housing units for parking spaces, the reality is that if there aren’t enough onsite parking sports for a given MDU, you’ll just have people clogging up city streets with overflow parking. Perhaps billing the building as carless or something and charging a premium for a parking spot to disincentivize car ownership?

    You see this in major cities here in CA like LA or SF, where much housing was built and zoned before the surge in personal car ownership. Street parking is a nightmare, and neighborhoods are filled to the brim with people plopping their cars wherever they can. It has to be coordinated effort between residents and cities to help alleviate the situation. Even neighborhood vertical parking structures would help.
