That's exactly the point. Cities in the US have expanded despite insane and arbitrary parking requirements. The affordability crisis and the 'strip-mall-ification' of the US are something that are inexorably linked. We don't build affordable housing anymore, we build parking lots and suburbs.

This fixation on suburbs and parking lots is a major factor in the affordability crisis we face
