If developers can be encouraged to host a public parking structure below their building as an incentive, a major transit stop in front of their building,or a public square to bring life to the street, so be it.
Developers don’t need an incentive to install the correct amount of parking. They can figure it out from their estimate of what market pricing will support, the same as they figure out what size the bedrooms in their condo units should be and whether the countertops should be formica, granite, or quartz.
