Do you have a source for the broader claim (outside of NYC) that suburban malls in particular have more intense parking minimum laws? My comment was not talking about residential parking or standalone businesses.

Here's an example from Tyson's Corner, VA, which you might know as the home of the world's first Apple store:

Example quote (in the context of commercial shopping centers and parking minimums that apply):

> 1,000,000 square feet of gross floor area or more: Four (4) spaces per 1000 square feet of gross floor area

EDIT: Note also that you get absurd scenarios like pools requiring a space per 4 people that can use the pool, or vets having to have at least 10 spaces, and so on and so forth. Absurd regulations
