    Urban planning for what is needed by the majority rather than demanded by the few.

    Parking and roads in general are examples of induced demand.

    Chances are whatever the size of the average parking space, people would buy cars too long or wide for them.

      Chevy Suburban has been produced and sold well since 1960. This isn’t a new dilemma, it’s clearly shitty planning and most likely being amplified by people who don’t own much of anything whining. I lived in that part of BC for 12 years, well familiar with how they’ll try make themselves feel better about themselves via creating scenarios where they are morally superior, not broke losers.
