Adam Millard-Ball, an Associate Professor of Urban Planning, delves into the dynamic interplay between housing and transportation. With groundbreaking research from San Francisco's housing lottery, he reveals how reduced parking leads to decreased driving and increased transit use. Millard-Ball explains the powerful influence of parking availability over transit quality on travel behavior and argues for revising parking mandates to enhance housing affordability. He highlights that even in parking-free buildings, car ownership persists, yet driving decreases due to higher costs and inconvenience.
