| Comment | More housing supply is good.
Housing supply in one of the most bustling neighbourhoods in Glasgow, with some of the better range of existing public transport options in Scotland, also good.
There can't possibly be parking provision for every resident in medium density urban housing developments, whether old or new. As the other commenter said, the existing tenement stock didn't provide for cars. Sure, many people own vehicles and park on the street, but count up the cars on nearby streets and compare it to the number of domiciles on those streets: the ratio is never more than a space for every two housing units on that street. Not everyone needs a parking space.
Above that though, building in parking provision means you 100% guarantee 600 additional cars, *at a minimum*. 600+ cars which only add to congestion and traffic issues for the neighbourhood's streets. |
