Public space is not storage for private vehicles. Build garages and affluent people's housing as you will but the rest of us gotta live too.

they all need housing. Building housing is the only way to create that housing. I live in a pre-war with 50 units and no parking, it'd be illegal to build it now because of parking requirements, but if we built more like it then we would have less of a problem with gentrification
You must be aware that developers don't want to build affordable housing. It's not lucrative. Every "affordable" unit has to be coerced from them, and you would still have to earn 50-60k on the books to qualify for it.

They don't want to build "affordable" housing, but they're fine with building as much housing that they can even if they can't sell them for a lot of money each. Most "affordable" housing is just regular apartments that the developer has been forced to rent for less than they

want to. But without car mandates the city could force them to build even more units that are smaller and actually affordable and then people who would otherwise gentrify will move to those neighborhoods. Either way, parking minimums suck and reduce the number of housing units.
