This is a huge win! It would be nice if it would also apply to commercial properties too. I highly recommend &quot;the high cost of free parking&quot; if you have not read it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_High_Cost_of_Free_Parking" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_High_Cost_of_Free_Parking</a><p>There is also a good Econtalk episode on it, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.econtalk.org&#x2F;donald-shoup-on-the-economics-of-parking&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.econtalk.org&#x2F;donald-shoup-on-the-economics-of-pa...</a>

Donald Shoup, who the article credits in large part for this change, has given many talks about parking. Some are available on YouTube [1]. Well worth a listen.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;r0gokb4rPik" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;r0gokb4rPik</a>

It&#x27;s been half amusing and half depressing to watch so many people espousing the freedom of cars, and the moment the government says it won&#x27;t <i>force</i> homebuilders to include parking spaces, they are all up in arms decrying the loss of their perceived freedom.<p>What does freedom even mean here?

California forgot it doesn&#x27;t have any usable public transit.

That&#x27;s great, now build the transit and walkable neighbourhoods people will need so they can live there.

It&#x27;s gonna be really fun trying to convince people to live in neighborhoods that you can&#x27;t get in or out of because the nearest parking space is 2 miles away.

Seems like a great way for housing developers to increase their margins.

This just sounds awful, nobody wants this. It&#x27;s imposed from &quot;on high.&quot;
