Maybe on access-limited highways.

But on (sub)urban streets driving the speed limit decreases the chance of causing serious injury to other road users, including pedestrians, even if it may lead to an increase in the total number of crashes between motorists.

Fermat could have been mistaken about his proof, however.

What is your definition of "the supply of parking" for a given area? I don't think the number of available parking spots in that area is a good measure, since people can always park just outside the area and walk in.

Instead, I think a good measure of parking supply for a given destination point could be the sum of available spots, weighed by their distance to the destination.

I'm not familiar with Sandpoint, but rather than a park and ride, why not a park and walk? Tourists who want to hang out downtown all day could park a half mile or so away and walk. While it's not the expectation in some places, prominent signs and way finding could alleviate any confusion about their being "no parking".

This would bring additional foot traffic to downtown adjacent neighborhoods, and encourage people to stay longer.

maxsilver was not claiming that cities currently offer free hotel rooms as you're implying, but rather that cities already provide adjacent services---suggesting that free hotel rooms might not be a totally crazy idea---and that in general we ought to have stronger public housing. Do you disagree? Why?
