Parking Reform Network @parkingreform.org · 01/09/2026
Removing a parking minimum does not remove parking. It removes the mandate. Different homes, businesses, and neighborhoods have different needs. Parking reform gives people more flexibility to respond to the place they actually have. More flexibility. Better choices. Fewer unnecessary barriers.

This apartment complex takes up only 1/4th of the land on this block, yet it pays over 6 times as much in property taxes as the rest of the land does. This is why density is so important, it allows cities to generate much more revenue while also using fewer resources.

A new @pewresearch.org study finds that infill housing near jobs, stores, and transit costs governments ~$21,000 less per home to serve, cuts long term infrastructure maintenance costs in half, and generates 13% more in annual property tax revenue per acre than sprawl.
