[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the plan was to build up, why no underground parking garage? So tired of the "limiting parking will limit cars" argument. No, it will cause folks to circle the block looking for parking and emit fumes. I say this as a non driver by choice who believes that building public transport and ride share etc, NOT .limiting parking, will encourage others to make the same choice. Will busing residents be contractually banned.from.owning cars?[/quote]

Ha!  Developers and their Smart Growth industry shills always say that they don't need off-street parking because all of the new residents will take Metro, ride bikes or use those cute little scooters that block the sidewalks.  Oh, and no parking will keep costs down so that the developers will pass the cost savings along to buyers and renters, of course.  But if you suggest then that the new deveopment be ineligible for RPP because it is car-less, you will get pushback, because their real intent is to push the parking costs onto the public in the form of more demand for street parking.  It's all talking points and spin for them.[/quote]
