Parking in Waterloo Region

[numberguy]

Y'all are welcome to have your concerns or preferences for parking. Why should that prevent someone from buying a unit without a parking spot if that's what they want? Why should it prevent a building built for people with that same preference, should a developer believe there is sufficient demand?

Nothing should prevent someone from buying a domicile without parking. But I, personally, would not buy something without at least 2 parking spots, preferably more. I had a townhouse with one parking spot and the amount of illegal parking in and around the complex was just ridic. None of my acquaintances who have investment properties feel likewise.

I don't believe there is much of a demand for parking-less units in current KW, barring certain student and core downtown/uptown areas. The reality of the matter is that KW's population density and public transit infrastructure just isn't at that point, yet. Who knows, perhaps LRT will help alleviate this.
