It is easy to get to Costco on public transit. 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?

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.

how do you get to work if it isn’t near public transit?

You’re moving the goalpost. The question was, “How do you go to Costco?”

With an hourly rental or delivery. Get a grip.

If these are new condos, I assume the people purchasing them will understand that if they want parking, they will need to pay a fee at a local parking garage.

Why would you be against this? This makes perfect sense near transit. I do hope the proposal also restricts access to local parking permits if one lives in these residences.

Less dependence on cars in transit adjacent places is a great thing. I typically roll my eyes are the hard core cyclists that want bike lanes everywhere but developing new residence that do not require access to vehicles is a great thing. People can choose not to live their if it doesn’t fit their lifestyle.

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.

Why not just let potential buyers decide whether or not they need a parking spot? Why force buyers to pay for a parking spot they don't want or need?

Ok. Then let the buyers and builders decide that. Not the government.

This is exactly what the legislation proposes.

If it’s so close to metro, a parking spot could be rented out and become a source of revenue!

Parking literally AT Metro stations is currently about $5 a day, Monday-Friday. Assuming 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, that would be $1,250 per year for a space.

The market value of a parking space further from a Metro station would obviously be less. Plus many people don't go into the office 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, so less again. Let's be extremely generous and say people might be willing to pay $1,000 a year for a space.

Meanwhile, construction costs for underground parking are about $70,000-$100,000 per space.

How does that pencil out?

I'm not sure why someone who has lived in a neighborhood for 10 years feels they are more entitled to a street parking spot than someone who just moves in.

Wait, it's actually even dumber than that. It's that someone who lives in a residence that has been in the neighborhood for a long time (regardless of when they moved in) feels more entitled to a street parking spot than someone who liven in a newer residence (regardless of when they moved in). Just silly.
