I don't think it is. If the demand is for more parking, then builders can supply for that demand. But if you're building right next to LRT, there is definitely non-student demand for units without parking that cost less as a result. Developers are not currently allowed to meet that demand anywhere in KW except Northdale, as the parking requirements are for at least one parking spot per residential unit. Even for a building located right in the middle of downtown Kitchener.
