Friday parking on the Twitter to see how generous these regulations are to Parker's one result of parking minimums is a huge increase in the cost of new construction since all new buildings have to provide minimum parking this is resulted in huge parking podiums and skyscrapers while developments farther out need to acquire much more land for parking to comply with the code in many cities even rehabs required parking if the use was changed a conversion from a warehouse to residential use required providing the parking for new residential construction so renovations had to be paired with large-scale demolition of the adjacent urban fabric or they just didn't happen at all in many cities today parking is the governing cost in any new construction especially construction on a large scale the height of a skyscraper is likely determined by the size and feasibility of the parking garage that can fit on a lot in many cities parking minimums have been lowered since their heyday in the NUMBER_TOKENs through the NUMBER_TOKENs but very few have repealed them altogether furthermore most parking which has been created through these regulations as private off street parking is usually plentiful but expensive while curbside parking is cheap and rare this inversion of the usual price demand relationship leads to folks complaining about the lack of parking even in areas with abundant parking garages and off street parking which makes reducing parking minimums extremely difficult politically speaking now thankfully many cities are taking steps today to lower parking minimums especially near heavy rail transit stations but so long as we insist on dragging one and a half tons of metal and plastic with us on most of our trips the parking problem isn't going away anytime soon anyway thanks for watching my youtube video about parking I hope it gets you thinking about parking I hope it gets you thinking about how to improve your parking in city skylines but hopefully how to improve it in real life too please go ahead and hit that subscribe button and I would like to thank my patreon z' who are appearing on the screen right now anyway see you at the next video bye
