Break up the concrete! ⚒️ 🌳
Dallas is way too hot. The city says less pavement could help cool it down
"[Impervious surfaces] absorb 95% of the solar energy that hits them, raising the temperature around them. The goal is to encourage developers to incorporate more green space and trees, which cools things down on the ground."

Tonight is the deadline to submit testimony saying that parking minimums are stupid and unscientific even in more rural places, but they're ESPECIALLY stupid in fucking New York City. https://action.openplans.org/support-lifting-parking-mandates-for-housing-livability-and-climate/?eid=7277

Councils (and residents) always seem to have this great fear that if they don't provide car parking then masses of motorists will just drive to places without any car parking available and then just illegally park on a regular basis.
It's a weird expectation that we don't tend to have for behaviour in other contexts.
Are there real examples of this happening in recent times outside of one off events?

Forward: ...a quote from Miguel Anxo, the mayor of Pontevedra, Spain, which has limited cars from their city center since 1999. Translated from Spanish, "As mayor, I have no obligation to find anyone a space to park their car. For me it's as if you buy a cow and ask me where you should put it or if you buy a freezer and you don't have a place in your house and tell me that you want a hole on the street where you can put it. The cars are the same." #biketooter #bikeadvocate #parkingminimums

These climate activists are calling for parking reform in Dallas
While critics worry it could increase the number of cars parked on the street and make parking more difficult to find, proponents say the update to the decades-old parking ordinance would cut down on unused space and help the city grow economically.

Got Donald Shoup's "The High Cost of Free Parking" in Libby as an audiobook. A very depressing listen on the #UpperWestSide. We'd so benefit by smart meters but they will never happen because the money would go into a central fund and never benefit the local area. Must be happy with elimination of #ParkingMinimums. Do love the #groupthink analogies with doctors prescribing lead because that's what they all do.

The fact that a non trivial amount of folks in California live in a vehicle because parking is cheap and abundant but housing is expensive and rare is such an acute illustration of American urban policy failures #housing #urbanism #parkingminimums

Vermont just upzoned the entire state!
https://vtdigger.org/2023/06/05/phil-scott-signs-home-bill-legalizing-duplexes-statewide-and-tweaking-act-250/
Allows duplex everywhere, allows up to 4 units where there's already water+sewer (to incentivize density rather than new sprawl), reduced parking minimums, and more! -

Less parking = more homes.
"parking mandates—local rules that ban new homes & businesses unless they have a pre-determined number of off-street parking spaces—are a binding constraint on housing construction."

CW: Are Parking Lots Ruining Your City? - Strong Towns
Are parking minimums cause a waste of land in cities? Strong Towns says yes, and explains why in this video.
Parking minimums can be a barrier to new businesses who want to move into a city, possibly renovating an older building that doesn't conform to the new standards.

Great video. Strong Towns is leveling up. I hope to see the widespread repeal of #ParkingMinimums in the US in my lifetime.

“Driving has been subsidized with this negative regulatory intervention into the market through #ParkingMinimums, which has helped make housing less affordable and is killing the #climate. It’s mind-boggling to think about how long it took for the tide to change, but it is changing.”
