 quotes Daniel Hessin in an article about why some cities are getting rid of their parking minimum regulations. Hess found in a 2021 study that about half of the new developments built since the City of Buffalo eliminated its parking minimums in 2017 have included fewer parking spaces than were previously required. Another study found that nearly 70 percent of the housing built in Buffalo after 2017 would have been illegal under the old parking regulations. “It helps to unlock land that was formerly parking spaces,” Hess said. “It’s the simplest zoning reform you can have. Minimum parking requirements have done immense harm. We have so much asphalt.” Excess asphalt and concrete surfaces have been shown to contribute to rising temperatures and flooding risks.
