Generally, yes. For most land uses, the parking ratios (either required by code or market) means that a similar amount of square footage of parking is required to support the actual active use. That is why we need to eliminate minimum parking requirements and institute a maximum parking ratio equivalent to the current minimum. Otherwise, we are wasting time and money investing in transit and other alternative means of transportation as long as we are subsidizing driving alone by making parking more convenient than other modes of transportation.

If you hate oversized parking structures as much as I do (and most comments on here suggest you do) get involved!
