Why would a business invest millions of dollars into building a storefront in a situation where parking is required, and not build any parking? Why does the state, apparently in your opinion, know better what the business's parking needs are than the business does? And if they DO go out of business because of their bad planning, what problem is that of yours and mine?
It's a potential problem, but it's not as great as the ACTUAL problems that we are presently dealing with. It might not be ideal to have no regulations, but it's certainly better than the status quo, which exists due to the intense historical influence of General Motors. Ie, political corruption and regulatory capture. It's garbage, it's hurting us.
