End the Parking Mandates and Subsidies That Are Hurting Our Cities

Published: June 10, 2022, 10 a.m.

Building community wealth is difficult. There\u2019s a lot of hard work involved, there are tough calls, there is risk. In even the best of circumstances, there\u2019s always a chance your investment (in dollars, time, and energy) won\u2019t work out. But often it does. Ultimately, this is how cities grow, how wealth is accumulated, how communities prosper, and how the chance to pursue a good life is made available to more people.\nWhat\u2019s wild is how often cities get in their own way. Case in point: the parking mandates and subsidies that are probably hobbling your city\u2019s strength and resilience right now.\xa0\nThis member week, we are sharing insights into our new strategic plan, including our five priority campaigns. The goal of the End Parking Mandates and Subsidies campaign is to end the practices that cause productive land to be used for motor vehicle storage. You can support this campaign by becoming a member of Strong Towns.
