It is obvious that the large scale projects dreamed up by entrepreneurs are not scaled to the environment in which they wish to fit them. The reason the city requires parking with developments is to forestall disputes rising from congested parking and businesses choked out because somebody else is using all the parking space for their enterprises.
Subsidized parking is not warranted anywhere. Let free enterprise take care of it. What we really need is more profitable bus and shuttle services and less government favoritism and meddling in free enterprise. The zoning codes appear to be a bit restrictive, and could do with a good going over.
It does appear that one parking space per rental or condo unit would be allowable, but it did occur to me that perhaps the space is being partitioned too many times. A smaller number of units on the property would fulfill the city’s requirements and allow for more open space. Crime rate and density are directly related. I suppose that density and profits are also related. The public good should be a consideration.
