The people who can't afford to live in a city with median housing prices of 1M (I just checked) but still have to work there?

You could take the T, but suburban NIMBYs have left it to rot because they prefer driving in their GMC suburbans and running over children on their way to work.

That demographic leans more heavily towards public transportation users.

I also think that people who don't live in Cambridge probably don't care that much about whether the apartment buildings they don't live in have parking

They care whether there are spots.

But you're one of those "let's make driving worse" sociopaths, so this is pointless.

We don't care about driving. This has nothing to do with "making driving worse" This is about making walking/biking/public transportation better. Car parking is the largest waste of space in our cities. It spreads the city out and makes other forms of transportation impossible. It also makes building housing more expensive.

You probably "believe in markets" or whatever so you should be happy about this change now the markets will decide how much parking exists instead random political regulations

Trying fucking reading, next time.

That's your line, rightist.

Edit: oh, you're an /r/fuckcars troll. That explains everything.

My favorite thing is when people like you make assertions with no explanation or evidence and then expect people to agree with you. And then when they inevitably don't, you insult them and pretend they're the unreasonable ones. A true masterpiece

Total number of spots? You don't have to use something directly to benefit from it.
Analogy time: there are 8 checkout lines at the supermarket. Two of those require the super special supermarket card to use, and you don't have it.
Someone decies to remove those lines. Don't you think you'll spend more time, despite the fact that you weren't using them, because the people that were using them are now in the other 6?

(also, they don't have to be inside)

Why do idiots always confuse homonyms? It's so easy not to.

Anyway, that's just displacing the issue.

They don't, that's actual English.

Edit: Well, the idiot realised he was wrong and bowed out.
