Cory Doctorow is great, but Jeff Speck is the author of Walkable Cities, AFAIK Cory Doctorow hasn't written about urban planning (fiction I think). Unless I'm missing something.
Sorry, I meant the author who was waging a war against DRM and audiobook monopolies, who Acitta had linked to an article about. Not Walkabout Cities.
(By the way, I'm in Japan right now, and there is no street parking in cities.)
Ahh...sorry. That makes much more sense, I didn't scroll back far enough for context.
Yeah, Doctorow definitely does push on that issue.
(Oh...cool. Yeah, that's probably the right way to do things. The Netherlands has a lot of street parking. FWIW...I'm not sure how parking actually works here. I was surprised and then not surprised to see that there are parking minimums here (they're much lower than Canada, but they still exist), but given the form of new developments, it's clear that *all* parking is included in these minimums--including street parking. In many places street parking is used in place of driveways for homes).
