Sure, there are better ways to push people, and that's now why I want less parking, that's just a pain-point we shouldn't be trying to fix.
> Unsustainable or not, most people do have a car, and it is a major nuisance when there is inadequate parking around housing.
So? A nuisance that those people can avoid if they chose too. Sure, they have a right to own a car, but there's not right to avoid nuisance.

Replying to CaptSpify:
The trouble is that the nuisance is not just for the person "choosing" to have a car, it is for everyone in the area.
Only because it's a luxury good that everyone thinks they deserve. Cities that don't expect you to have a car (NY, cities in Europe, most of Seattle) don't really have the same problem, because nobody has a car. And it's not like this doesn't have any precedent. We've mostly car-less cities work before many times.
EDIT: Are you able to reply to my other post now? I think HN has a timer that limits how often you can reply, but I could be wrong.
