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

When you are forcing people to live 50 minutes away just to work at a minimum wage job because you expect to have a parking space in every home in a city… I think that is worthy of scorn.

I think I see the disconnect.

  1. I think minimum wage is criminal and companies that can’t afford to pay their workers enough to live off of should go out of business.
  2. No one should have to live that far away. The city should structure its housing so that the low income people who support the city can also afford to live there.
  3. I don’t believe this law will have any impact on housing prices because it isn’t the full solution. It is an easy step 1 that drastically favors groups that are neither part of the short or long-term solution.
