Question from someone on the east coast: what impacts are you seeing from the abolition of parking minimums in Portland?

    It’s hard to say. I’m moving into a building that has parking available but at maybe 1/10th of the available units. The building is only partially complete but street parking is already difficult. That combined with the expense of paying for a parking spot is making us reconsider having a car at all. If the desire of removing the minimums is to encourage people to use public transit more and rely on cars less then in my case it’s working.
