Lots of neighborhoods used to be car free

I feel like north beach, SF could do well with permanently closing some streets

cities are relaxing zoning laws to allow for denser housing, reducing parking mandates

Ugh, we need parking mandates.

Would be nice to see laws that make a mandatory maximum parking spots to something like 20-50% of the building's human capacity

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

No need. Developers are very profit driven so are unlikely to pay for more parking spaces than necessary
