(1/3) When I post about legalizing duplexes, triplexes, and multiplexes in all neighborhoods, even single-family neighborhoods, someone usually replies w/ something like, "Sure, as long as there's plenty of parking."

(2/3) Affordable housing advocates, urbanists, and environmentalists (serious&informed environmentalists) know that mandatory minimum parking requirements kill affordable projects, degrade urban design, reduce walkability, and encourage more driving, which harms the environment.
(3/3) How do we get that knowledge to the general public, to the people who very often show up at council meetings to oppose new housing construction over exaggerated concerns about parking?
