Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Parking minimums are the stupidest regulation to ever exist, especially given the entire regulation is based on very little data and evidence of parking requirements.
How the fuck did "buy your neighbouring building, tear it down, and pave surface level parking lots" become the norm to start a business?
very little data? Climate Town looked at one of the datasets, it had just two points - and they showed a negative correlation!
Didn't the 'data' show you could solve parking by simply building enough hair salons with no parking or something?
You're gonna have to explain that one made
If the Empire State Building had to adhear to parking regulations, the surrounding 15 blocks would have to be allocated for parking: https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2023/05/19/what-if-empire-state-building-met-typical-parking-requirements
Thank god my state is looking to ban both r1 zoning and parking minimums
The most effective way to dig out of the car centric hole is in your local governments. They have the most control over the urban spaces that you will be in.
The thing that just doesn’t make sense to me about parking minimums for most places is, what are the consequences if you can’t access said business in the moment?
I can understand if it’s a hospital, grocery store or large supermarket where all the essentials are, but for your little mom and pop small business, you just come back later when they’re less busy.
Besides, if all 2-3 spots are full at a tiny shop like this, it’s not likely you’ll get timely service anyway.
because american cities aren't designed to serve city dwellers, they're designed to serve suburbanites who live 45 minutes to 2 hours away and aren't gonna come back to shops at a later time
The USA is secretly run by big concrete.
It's crazy to me that places like this exist. I live in Washington, and even Seattle has trees lining every street
Cars are people too. So is money, guns, buildings, corporations. Everybody except trans people according to conservatives
