probably shouldn’t announce this on this app but my comms director isn’t on, so for all interested I’m submitting a bill in the U.S. House that eliminates parking minimums across the country around transit hubs.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 3(source)

basically mandatory parking dramatically raises costs of building housing. We are in a housing crisis and our planet needs us to also build more dense and walkable/bikable communities. Also encourages public transit and sustainable planning development. Housing people over cars, always.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 3(source)

yup and working with ca yimby on this also - going to go one step further than CA law also.

so happy to be here.

The thing about this space is that it’s pro-worker, pro-trans, and pro-science. And that’s not political or an ideology. There’s just good, well informed and truth seeking humans here.

I’ll be there James!
