MODERATORS
There's a good podcast by 99% invisible that talks about the madness of parking mandates ("Paved Paradise").
Article summary, via ChatGPT:
The article discusses how several cities in North America have been repealing mandatory parking mandates in 2023. These mandates, which have been in place since the 1960s, require a minimum number of parking spaces for various types of developments. The outdated regulations have created challenges for businesses and residents. The article highlights the stories of cities like Austin, Texas; Burlington, Vermont; Bend, Oregon; Willmar, Minnesota; and Spokane, Washington, which have all made efforts to eliminate or revise these parking requirements. The goal is to prioritize people over cars, encourage walkable communities, and reduce the financial and environmental burdens of excessive parking. The article also mentions that parking reform is gaining momentum across the region.
