Gonna have to look for another scapegoat now, I s'pose.

There was a big discussion about this is in the West Campus thread. That's a place where I think parking requirements might have a substantial effect.
For downtown, I believe that there simply is that much demand for parking. Why? Well, because Austin is geographically large and spread out, and even adjusted for density we have relatively weak public transit... I can't see this begin to change unless Cap Metro's 2020 plan is passed and successfully implemented.
