Reply to comment by RetiredBrainCell in Cambridge completely eliminated parking minimums yesterday!! by RealBurhanAzeem

But there doesn’t need to be a 1:1 parking spot to apartment ratio.

I see your point (not everyone needs a spot so don’t make it 1:1). Buuuut what about the situation when a family or a bunch of random renters actually need more than one spot?

Removing the minimum doesn't mean that developers can't build parking. If a family of bunch of random renters need more parking, they can rent a place that has more parking. Or they can rent parking at one of the many garages in the area that offer monthly parking rentals.

They can pay for it at a complex that does have enough parking for them.

Just because developers don't HAVE to build parking, doesn't mean they won't. They can still do it and charge a premium for it.
