How far do you park from your home?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not very far, thanks to the minimum parking requirements that are a subsidy to car owners and strangling the US.

No one needed any minimum parking requirements to make my house's built-in garage and I've noticed driveways and garages in homes in the other countries I've been to as well, so I'm not so sure you're right about that.

My bad, like most people my age, I have to rent my housing because of the massive amounts of debt I was saddled with early on in the promise for a better life. Suburbs are a different, related problem. It's a reason why there's so much urban sprawl, basically making a very expensive luxury item a requirement.
