   The City requires some number of parking spaces per whatever, but I'm   
   pretty sure that parking is just another profit center for the building   
   owners.

   Yes, but the "Let 'em eat cake" solution isn't possible for everyone.   
      
   Personal private at-will transportation is neither a crime nor a sin,   
   but a highly desirable result of a prosperous civilization.  I'm really   
   tired of the smugness of the anti-car people, who regard ANYTHING   
   personal or private as some sort of crime against society.
