“Parking minimums are well-intended, but they are an unnecessary regulation that violate their own stated goals of reducing traffic, threaten walkability, and lead to blight in our cherished urban fabric in Over-the-Rhine,” the task force report stated.
WOW. Talk about completely twisting the point.
How about just giving the resident a place to park their vehicles when they come home or have guests over who might have to come from outside the city.
That comes at an extremely high cost for the city, even if it's not obvious, at least to American eyes. Parking lots take a huge amount of space. In Europe, we have far fewer parking places. But...

That comes at an extremely high cost for the city, even if it's not obvious, at least to American eyes. Parking lots take a huge amount of space. In Europe, we have far fewer parking places. But cities are walkable or bikeable, public transportation is great, and people actually use it.
Also, and this obviously won't apply to all cities, but there are situations where poor-tax incentives lead to too much parking being built, which is actively detrimental to the cities in question...

Who said anything about FREE parking?
Public parking lots in cities, most of the time, are paid by people who park there.
Private parking spaces are paid by the people who own them (e.g. driveways on their property).
Street parking is paid using parking meters or tags paid monthly.
Employer owned lots are paid by the employer and assigned as part of employee benefits.
Except for street parking, all others are taxed based on at least property taxes.
What Cinci is doing is banning PRIVATE "home based" parking. I have a problem with that. It ignores the fact that most people trying to live in those areas won't be working in those areas.
Of course they builders will remove them. They are no longer required to have them and they will charge too much for most people to pay for them. Read the source article.

We’ve been catering to cars that sit unused 95% of the time for the past 50+ years and our cities suck. We need to cater to people.
