In the U.S. specifically, minimum parking requirements also severely need to be adjusted. Much of our land is just paved-over concrete lot that will never be parked in because a bunch of old 1920s politicians guessed how much parking would be needed and we took too long to notice. If we could fit more stuff in the same amount of area, that’s more space we’d have for other things like housing.

I recommend the Climate Town video on this if you don’t mind some humor and vulgarity in your informative vids.
