re: #114 danarchy

I can’t speak for any other city, but Boston already has a huge parking problem and the new regulations that reduced the number of parking spots required per new housing unit is only going to make things worse. Currently, people building new housing in Boston are only required to provide 1 parking spot for every 3 residences. The argument you hear is that Millenials and Gen Zers don’t actually want cars, which IMO is total BS.

My youngest is Gen Z and he doesn’t want a car. He didn’t even get his drivers license until he was 20. We gave him dads old car when dad couldn’t drive anymore and I paid it off for him. He had it long enough to make the move to his job in DC and then brought it back up during Christmas and left it with us again.
