Haha, so USA can’t have five story buildings because the parking lot would have to be really big. ½ mile is 800 m? That’s fine, distance wise from the train station. Maybe 0.4 miles would be better but you can still walk ½ mile in a bit over ten minutes.

It’s also California: the weather is usually really good. Maybe this “Becker” should add an amendment that requires bike roads to be built instead of parking spots.

I assume he’s against being proactive in problem solving, though.

Well that’s the thing, this bill actually removes the minimum parking requirements. The opposition is just NIMBY

How do you get “USA” from one neighborhood in one city in one state?
