The effect is negative as a vicious circle of subsidization for parking develops, there is a substantial oversupply of parking, and this abundance then suggest a perceived “demand” that is used to set future minimum parking requirements. Eradicating minimum parking requirements will urge people to do what urban planners…

    The complexity of urban environments is something that I have become familiar with through my time spent working, volunteering and studying in Dorchester, MA – a financially diverse urban borough of greater Boston. Attending UMass Boston while living at home did not provide me enough opportunity to experience the city living. I always drove to campus since public transportation was not feasible. But volunteering at MGH in Downtown Boston and at Codman Square Health Center in Dorchester has prepared me for city challenges like travelling in a city using the crowded local subway and buses while being courteous to fellow passengers, and meeting the time schedules. Learning to travel light and staying vigilant helps me to reach my destination easily…
