How about they start by abolishing parking minima? It’s ridiculous to go from a minimum to a maximum in one step. It’s an implicit admission that the planners don’t know what they’re doing, without the natural follow-on response of having them do less. The right approach is to say “we realized parking minima are stupid, so we’re eliminating them. Also, we’re going to re-think what other parts of the zoning code are pointless and unjustifiable infringements on the rights of citizens to use their property as they wish.”

Remember, almost all of the best parts of our cities were built before zoning.
