That said, my opinion on parking remains -- if the developer wishes to provide it, let him. But if he does not, then let him not. Parking is a salable amenity. It should not be a requirement.

I like the developer's quote in there. He says that he is happy with the new overlay since he felt as if he HAD TO include parking since his competitors included it. It creates a feed forward mechanism with parking, which really is an amenity. I know that parking garages are bad for the city, but if I could have one, it would make my life a lot easier. This article argues that, at least some developers include parking because they feel like they have to in order to be competitive in the market.
