One solution to fight climate change? Fewer parking spaces.

Climate change is forcing cities to curb parking to bring down emissions and create more affordable housing.

Part of why you have to live so far is because parking minimums create vast amounts of space that sits empty 90% of the time.

The other part is because of stringent zoning regulations that kill real housing options.

Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.
