Ugh. I feel complicated about that one but a lot of it probably has to do with my own lifestyle and living situation. Short version is whether we actively drive or not the majority of the domestic workers in this area drove a car here and need a place to put it, occasionally proving a problem in the winter as there's less parking than residents. In a city I can see replacing parking with housing working better, especially when the parking is being used less for storage and more of a daily in and out traffic sort of thing. Not to say I don't love the idea of a better fleshed out bus network for not only the state but country that could get rid of that but it simply isn't there now.
Removing parking minimums does not stop people building parking if they want it.
Landlords suck and won't do things unless a larger force twists their arm.
