I would disagree with this, Joe. There are certainly parts of the
city where this DOES damage the quality of life in the community. (The
north half of the (old) 10th ward, for one example.) There are a lot of
quality-of-life issues caused by too few garages and thus too many cars
looking for too few on-street parking spots. And the problem is even worse
in the winter. We've even had police calls in Minneapolis to deal with
people assaulting each other over parking spots!
I'm not sure if the city needs to mandate garages, or just require
an appropriate number of off-street parking spaces for apartment
buildings/duplexes, or what. But I for one am glad to see that the Council
is looking at ways to address this problem.
