https://www.visionofearth.org/news/morph-city-report/
the report itself is much more thorough and still worth going through, since nothing's really changed except the city is more in debt, and more run down

compare and contrast:
> To protect neighborhoods from being strangled by a lack of parking, the city currently is subsidizing public parking spaces along most residential streets. Additionally, city bylaws mandate large quantities of parking stalls for commercial and residential developments within the city, paid for by the developers. Thus, both city revenues and corporate investment is being funnelled into the subsidization of automobile travel.
> The secondary effects of this subsidization are noteworthy. We are legislating reduced density by effectively mandating that our developments be built further apart, and thus losing many of the benefits that higher density can afford us including more cost-effective infrastructure, better transit, greater viability of active transport, more resilient communities, and boons to our innovative capacity (as discussed in the density section of the introduction). We are creating vast tracts of impermeable surfaces that contribute enormously to our storm water surges. We are introducing market distortions, leading to reduced productivity of land than which would be accomplished if the market were allowed
to react freely. We are encouraging automobile usage with all of its associated dangers, stressors, noise, congestion problems, and air-quality impacts. Current development patterns try to optimize the
effectiveness of the personal automobile. The prioritization of auto-centric development comes at the expense of the effectiveness of the transportation system as a whole
#visionofearth tried to steer the city of #yqr away from auto-centric parking subsidies a decade ago. And were not heeded -
