Parking adds at least $20,000 of cost per new unit of housing. Who should pay for that?

The developers… which yes raises the cost of the project, which means the housing is less affordable. All I’m saying is that the cars are going to come with the people… there needs to be a plan for it.

I think that goes to Michael's orginal point. The plan is to provide good alternatives to cars--redline, busses, good pedestrian/bike infrastructure. Any other approach will either make the housing crisis worse or the car problem worse

I agree, but that already exists along this corridor and insofar only works well if you’re transiting North and South. There is no train to take you west and the buses along those corridors are very slow. I’ve lived in this area without a car… it is challenging.
