Experts say Canada’s regulations around parking, which in many cases is free, contributes to Canada’s housing crisis. What can be done about it?

Yet again, blame the people with no power to change a situation. Politicians are the cause of the housing crisis. Politicians are the reason we don’t have public transit or walkable cities.
The article is blaming politicians.
“Much of this has to do with “parking minimums” – or the requirement that developers must build a certain number of parking spaces for any new development.”
The article isn’t blaming the people physically parking a vehicle, but is blaming the policies that dictate the parking spaces.
Imma be real pedantic here and I apologize.
Politicians are people. In many cases specifically on the municipal level these are people who have day jobs because they get paid shit as a representative. Technically, people are to blame. People have the power to change the situation. The problem is people aren’t changing the situation.
Well, I mean, people vote in these politicians, and the politicians are the people.
If no one runs for office that wants to change things, the people who do want change should probably put up someone as an option to vote for.
If they don’t win, the people chose not too change
It’s only a politicians fault if they campaign on the promise to change and then don’t do it.
