Reply to comment by Goldenrule-er in Email City Council to Abolish Minimum Parking Requirements! City Council is meeting at 5:30pm on Monday, October 24th to discuss making it easier and cheaper to build new housing by eliminating requirement for unneeded parking spaces by Responsible-Bath2778

Dealerships have all types of buyers but housing doesn’t? I don’t think you grasped my analogy at all—the literal point was that car dealerships aren’t in the same situation because we DON’T heavily regulate the manufacture and sale of cars. The margins for luxury condo sales are so high BECAUSE new development of ANY kind is so restricted. I’m not spamming, it’s what any person with a basic knowledge of business or economics would tell you.

Edit: Also, if your concern is too many cars in cities, isn’t the logical solution to BAN MORE CARS (rather than ban more housing, which at best indirectly affects the number of new cars in the city)?
