That’s all fine and dandy, until all 200 units of the condo has occupants with multiple vehicles and now existing home owners have no place to park.

Gotta fix the underlying issues first. The bylaws exist for a reason usually.

Parking requirements have already been removed for projects located within half a mile of major transit stops under the 2022 state law AB 2097. The new city council proposal could expand that policy to the entire city.

Sounds like this has already been in place for years in select areas without the apocalypse happening.

And when an infill goes into an existing neighborhood? What happens to those homeowners. It’s also a matter of scale and time, how many projects have actually been built in those 3 years? Condos from planning to building usually takes 3-5 years from design to permits to building.

Do you think there’s a major transit stop every half mile in LA? Those are the only residences affected by this. Like, that would be nice if we did have that many, but that’s not the situation here. We’re already a fucking parking lot, we don’t need more parking spaces. We need housing and public transit.

Besi i can do is knocking down apartments to build single level parking lots.

And when it now applies blanket across the city…? What then?

Oh, and what about when they hunt down anyone in a car by helicopter and blow them up? What then?

The article, and your quoted part is literally about this situation happening. What are you going on about?

The new city council proposal could expand that policy to the entire city.
