Architect explains why large development in LA seems to be luxury development
From my European point of view, I find the whole hangup about the parking space regulations very interesting.<p>Here in Zurich, there are the same sort of complaints about parking for new buildings going up, however there is now a different trend: Because rent for the parking space is typically charged separately from the apartment&#x27;s rent, some parking space simply can&#x27;t be rented out because residents don&#x27;t have cars.<p>In case you speak German and are interested in this sort of stuff, the regulations are available at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stadt-zuerich.ch&#x2F;content&#x2F;dam&#x2F;stzh&#x2F;portal&#x2F;Deutsch&#x2F;AmtlicheSammlung&#x2F;Erlasse&#x2F;741&#x2F;500&#x2F;741.500_Parkplatzverordnung_16_V4.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stadt-zuerich.ch&#x2F;content&#x2F;dam&#x2F;stzh&#x2F;portal&#x2F;Deutsch...</a> .<p>It also shows a table on page 3 that explains how you actually are allowed and required to build less and less parking spaces the closer you get to the city center, so much so that if you look at the maps on pages 6 to 7, you can see that that grey area allows &lt;= 10% of the parking of the white area.
