I think this is still an argument for better transit, personally. The piece gets into arguments for and against, but I think one aspect that isn’t talked about is how parking is just not good for city economics. Fewer homes, less tax revenue, utilities cost more per capita, etc.
New city data shows fewer parking stalls than the number of new infill homes built in Edmonton in 2024 — about 1 stall per 2 homes within Anthony Henday Drive. A city councillor thinks homes built far from transit should require more parking. #yeg #yegcc #housing
