Another huge missed opportunity in the draft Seattle Comp Plan: parking reform. The Plan gets it right on all the reasons to abolish mandates, yet still justifies retaining them for this: "they can help to reduce competion for on-street parking." seattle.gov/documents/Depa…
The Seattle Comp Plan's middle housing prototypes all show off-street parking at one space per home. Check out all that sweet pavement! It's like the existing mandate for SF houses but worse, because a house can have two ADUs without additional parking. seattle.gov/documents/Depa…
@danbertolet Quite funny that Seattle is willing to do the hard part of abolishing mpms where they matter, in urban villages, but not willing to do it where they don’t as much, everywhere else. Positive news cycle waiting to happen and Harrell is like nah
@danbertolet "shaped by land use regulations?" Don't they mean "invented by planners and engineers"?
