I've never understood why the city didn't require condos to provide 2 parking spaces for each unit. If we truly want to increase density, parking is going to be a massive problem, especially in a city with subpar public transportation.

Even in neighbourhoods where they are putting up 4 plex infills it's a big problem. I have yet to see many that provide an actual parking spot. Most provide single garage spots that are about the size of a small storage unit. They are essentially adding 16 cars to the street for each 4 plex. It's going to be a problem.

I don't know what a good solution would be.
