In New York and elsewhere, the rules typically take the form of ratios [of parking spaces to retail and housing] that have been copied from one city to another, handed from one generation of engineers to the next without much study or skepticism.

    That’s what we’re gradually do over here in Norway, new apartment complexes does not even have 1 parking place per apartment, you have to buy one for about 40-60k usd if you want one

    There’s no requirements for guest parking either, which can be a pain. But basically everyone who wants to park needs to pay for it.

    They also removed free street parking. People are whining that it will kill the towns, because people can’t park in town for free, but not happened yet

      Its fine to have free parking where there is space. There are less and less space so people might have to pay for parking but it should have people focus on none car options.
