Lifting parking mandates citywide is crucial for reforming New York City's zoning laws, allowing for more housing, density, and affordability amidst an ongoing housing crisis.
Parking minimums consume valuable space that could be allocated for housing units and drastically increase construction costs, making it an outdated and unnecessary policy.
Removing parking minimums can lead to the construction of more homes, easing the burden on New York's housing market which is struggling to accommodate a growing population.
In the context of a housing crisis, mandating parking spaces is wasteful, as the area for two parking spots could instead be transformed into a studio apartment.
