I really enjoy the ClimateTown youtube channel. I had never considered that parking laws could be behind why my city looks like such a dystopian concrete jungle.

They also provide some instructions for how to contact your local council reps to voice your concerns - https://www.climatechangemakers.org/playbook-parking-mandates/#action

I don’t think I’m as active in politics as I should be but we all have to start somewhere. I’m sharing here and hope some of you also try reaching out to your local reps. You can even complain about more than just parking laws!

    Of course they would! Public transit funded by the taxpayer is always going to be cheaper than privately funding parking. It would be a beautiful way to align interests to get business owners siding with urbanists to finally get more transit built.
