If you want to build apartments and homes in Nashville, you are required to build parking for cars. Otherwise, the city council will kill your project. (lemmy.world)

They rent or lease spaces if they don't have enough. It means they're paying for the infrastructure they use. The alternative is the above system that just enforces car centrism. I don't consider it particularly hostile myself. Parking would be dirt cheap in rural areas and very expensive in urban. And inacessable suburban hellholes would be penalized. As it should be.

    and this is the key point i think: it would be incredibly easy to transition to this system, because the easy way is simply allowing people to pay extra for a “street parking” version that’s essentially paying extra for road maintenance to “rent” the street spot… nothing changes except there are no externalities, and there’s control over the situation: over time you can disincentivise street parking and eventually drive it down to acceptable levels
