[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for nanny staters. How do you go to Costco type places using public transit ? [/quote]

[b]It is easy to get to Costco on public transit.[/b]  But I'm guessing what you are really asking is how you transport a lot of stuff on public transit.  You don't.  You either get things delivered or you use a Zip car/ride share or similar.

Question about what you mean by "nanny stater."  You realize that this legislation REMOVES government requirements, rather than creates them, right?[/quote]

:shock: [/quote]
Even if you’re not using public transit, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to use Uber to visit Costco once in a while than it is to own and maintain a car.[/quote] how do you get to work if it isn’t near public transit?[/quote]

This legislation does not forbid cars or parking spaces.  It allows people to make choices.  If you have a job that is not near public transit, you can have a car.  You can also choose to live somewhere with ample parking.[/quote]

We already have these choices. Why does there need to be a bill? I can already choose not to have a car. I can already choose. To use a parking spot. I already have choices. That bill doesn’t sound like it would give me more choices. It would take away choices.[/quote]

How would it take away any choices from you? Which choices would it take away?

You do not currently have the choice to buy a housing unit near Metro in a development that doesn't have the required number of parking spaces, because the county currently requires developers to provide the required number of parking spaces, whether people actually want those parking spaces or not.[/quote]
