Parking minimums are the stupidest regulation to ever exist, especially given the entire regulation is based on very little data and evidence of parking requirements.

How the fuck did "buy your neighbouring building, tear it down, and pave surface level parking lots" become the norm to start a business?

very little data? Climate Town looked at one of the datasets, it had just two points - and they showed a negative correlation!

Didn't the 'data' show you could solve parking by simply building enough hair salons with no parking or something?

If the Empire State Building had to adhear to parking regulations, the surrounding 15 blocks would have to be allocated for parking: https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2023/05/19/what-if-empire-state-building-met-typical-parking-requirements
