The most ridiculous aspect to these 'dense' developments is the lack of space for an automobile...so where do the owners/leasers of these dense developments park their automobiles? They park in the street. How in the world is parking in the street permanently allowed by the City? This isn't temporary parking...like a person visiting....this is permanent parking.

How is there not an ordinance requiring X parking space per X residents for these developments? Who is asleep at the wheel, when approving these designs?

It's a selfish design and thought process, if you take a public space currently being used by pedestrians, bicyclists, and others, and permanently change the space to a parking solution for people living in these units.
