    The thing that just doesn’t make sense to me about parking minimums for most places is, what are the consequences if you can’t access said business in the moment?

    I can understand if it’s a hospital, grocery store or large supermarket where all the essentials are, but for your little mom and pop small business, you just come back later when they’re less busy.

    Besides, if all 2-3 spots are full at a tiny shop like this, it’s not likely you’ll get timely service anyway.

      because american cities aren’t designed to serve city dwellers, they’re designed to serve suburbanites who live 45 minutes to 2 hours away and aren’t gonna come back to shops at a later time
