[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't understand how having fewer parking spaces per unit is supposed to work until DASH service is improved.  My kids take it to school and home from sports and to their weekend jobs, and the waits can be really long at times.  I can't see it being a viable option for many adults.[/quote]

Parking induces driving. If you make it easy to park a second/third/etc... vehicle, then people will buy those vehicles. Then trips that could have been carpool/bus/walking/bike get turned into car trips because the spare car is available. [/quote]

This is a bit like arguing that cutting taxes on the rich results in more jobs because they have more money to invest, and yet I'm certain you don't believe that. [/quote]

It's not like that at all. Everyone seems to understand the "people choose not to go by bus because it's inconvenient" argument without any problems, but the "people choose not to go by car because it's inconvenient" argument is surprisingly difficult for a surprising number of people to understand.[/quote]
