Using transit (for example, Metro or a bus), their feet, a bike or e-bike, an e-scooter, a taxi, a ridehailing service, a rental vehicle, and/or delivery. How is this even a question?

What's more, the proposal would not forbid developers from providing parking spaces, and also would not require people to live in units without parking spaces. So if the developers were worried that people would be unable to shop without having a parking space, all they would have to do is: provide parking spaces. Similarly, if potential residents were worried that they would be unable to shop without having a parking space, all they would have to do is: not move there.

Are you seriously suggesting that the county must continue to require developers to provide parking spaces for condo units within one-half mile of a Metro or Purple Line station (a 10-minute walk) or within a quarter mile of a bus rapid transit station (a 5-minute walk), because otherwise people will be unable to escape from domestic abusers?

There are currently, right now, plenty of people in Montgomery County who don't own a car. If you don't know any, then it might be a good idea for you to get out more and meet some.
