As SteetsBlog reports, there are discussions on removing the parkings
minimum regulations for buildings being built in downtown Brooklyn.
What this means is that builders won't have to provide a minimum am
out of parking spaces for a residential development. They think that
this will encourage use of mass transit. I completely disagree with
this line of thinking. I don't think that any of the people making
these decisions live in downtown Brooklyn. What happens when you
invite relatives over that have to dive to your apartment because the
don't live close to mass transit? They are being short sighted in
thinking that people just go to work and go home. The parking needs to
be there for the weekends. That's when residents are living there life
in Downtown Brooklyn. Not during the week when the street are
congested with shoppers and office workers. Does anyone agree with me
or am I totally out of left field on this issue?
