I worry some people in Auckland are experiencing poor parking management by Auckland Council as being a problem of the removal of mandatory parking minimums.
The problem isn't removing mandatory parking minimums.
The problem is the failure to price or manage on-street parking in places subject to intensification. Expectations of being able to find free on-street parking reduces demand for on-site parking where on-site parking has high opportunity cost.
So solve the underlying problem. It isn't that hard. Set resident parking passes for the street, keep some spaces back as paid parking (easily managed through apps), and let folks decide whether they want to pay for an on-street spot or forgo some living space on-site or not have a car.
