Re:U.S. cities opt to ditch their off-street parking minimums by saiya-jin on Wednesday January 03, 2024 @02:01PM (#38858225)
Here in Switzerland I've seen the opposite - the amount of parking requested by the developer (true, this was for local bank growth and not condos) was slashed significantly by municipality, as in 'don't bring your cars to your work', effectively removing 1 underground level of parking and some more, right under the bank.

There are very few countries out there that would see such behavior flying, when facing a wealthy developer (it used to be the biggest company in this village/small town) who gives a lot of local work, for just parking spots that are anyway completely hidden under the building.

Extra parking would bring in "poor" people who live in France, Italy or Germany but commute to work in Switzerland. Just another form of elitism.
