    Believe it or not, if your downtown's parking shortage got bad enough, it'd become profitable to build a new private garage and rent spaces in it. There are problems the market can't solve. Parking isn't one of them.

    "But if we don't have parking minimums, what will happen when someone fails to provide enough parking for their customers?!" Answer: someone who owns extra parking nearby will make a buck or two providing it. This isn't that complicated.

    I wonder if the people who say they "earned" the wealth of a $3 million Bay Area home, which they bought for $250k in the 1980s, believe the people who bought homes in the Rust Belt decades ago, and now have an asset worth almost nothing, also "earned it."

    Death by overdose of process. Classic San Francisco.

    How depressing that plenty of people realized this 60 years ago, and yet auto-centricity has only become more universal and more insane. Saving this quote to use again.

    I feel like in the thirty years since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we should have fixed these crosswalks in downtown Saint Paul

    Incredibly frustrating to see. Lyndale has been a death trap for decades; a proper road diet is a no-brainer. And as 's tweet shows, the relevant agency *clearly knows how to do this* without dragging its feet, if it wanted to.

    They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that cities we admire made CHOICES. They make more tired excuses. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005 HT )

    As a very general rule applying to many industries (not just land development), *strict* regulations may or may not favor the public, but *convoluted* regulations almost always favor insiders, and big interests over small ones.

    I think one reason people don't understand this is that genuine NIMBYs invoke "big developers" as a convenient, widely-hated villain. Another is assumptions about who favors "deregulation" (a super unhelpful word) deriving from left/right politics that don't map onto this issue.

    Super important point, borne out by my experience as well. A land-use / zoning system defined by byzantine rules will always favor entrenched insiders like big developers. The constituency for broad but modest, missing-middle upzoning is totally different.

    I find Americans have a weird Stockholm syndrome this way. Like our daily lives aren't worthy of beautiful or playful environments. But we'll go on vacation for them, or we'll make them out of Legos.

    Great example of how traditional urban forms are still ingrained in our culture's idea of what a prototypical building or street looks like. We teach it to kids. We just don't let anybody, ya know, build it.

    NYC in 1900 was a beautiful mess. I’m glad that 120 years later the pendulum of desire is seemingly moving away from sterile suburban loneliness and back towards something resembling this.

    Good observation re: the massive double standard in how Americans react to free transit versus how we react to free parking.

    The snowball keeps rolling: New bill in WA state would follow OR's lead in re-legalizing the kind of mixed residential neighborhoods that were normal and ubiquitous everywhere before the past few decades.

    11) The rest is up to us in our communities. And there's a lot of grassroots energy out there. Don't be distracted by the shiny object of a Bernie tweet (says the guy who was distracted enough to tweet a thread about it 🙃).

    10) What we need in housing right now isn't national anything, except for *removing* federally-imposed perverse incentives for bad development patterns (road and fossil-fuel subsidies, mortgage interest tax deduction, etc.)

    9) It doesn't take much imagination to envision a (again, not gonna happen anytime soon) national rent control policy having unpleasant side effects on the same order as the above programs.
