I think this misses the mark, badly. It recognizes issues with New Urbanism, but then recommends a treatment that is essentially the car-oriented status quo with an undefined hope of evolution into something good...eventually

If cities listened to drivers, parking everywhere would be free, every building would be on top of a garage, and they'd be bankrupt cause no one would want to go there

This graffiti on the Wissahickon made a certain billionaire mad enough that it had to be removed from Twitter, but Nazis calling for trans people to die gets to stay up.
I wonder why!

Furthermore, SEPTA's Nova LFS busses have a capacity of 80 passengers, and 9 can fit in the same space.
Where 22 cars have a max capacity of 110 people, 9 busses can carry 7200 people per block! Across the corridor, that's 360,000 people, or 8.8x the # of residents!

And that's with no visitors, contractors, cops, or any non-local uses of the lanes.
There simply isn't enough space in a city for cars & on-street parking.
And considering you can fit about 15 bikes in the space of one car, the math is DRAMATICALLY better

22 spots per side, per block * 25 blocks * 2 streets with bike lanes = 1100 parking spaces
1100 spaces/41,000 residents @ 1 car per resident = 2.7% of residents can use the streets for parking, assuming no bike lane + perfectly spaced parking

Here's some math on how cars don't work in cities- neighbors in Philly want to use the 2 crosstown bike lanes on Spruce & Pine for ad-hoc parking.
You can fit 22 cars per block on those lanes.
The streets go 25 blocks
There are 41k people who live along that corridor alone.

While I appreciate them shedding light on it, I take umbrage with the idea that charging road user fees is "robbing Peter to pay Paul"
It's a known fact that our roads are heavily subsidized AND expensive, and that every dollar spent on transit produces $5 in returns
