Another potential data point on this is parking minimums, as that's a signal whether personal vehicle ownership patterns are _actually_ changing.

The parking spots built with a new condo development have an enormous cost which impacts everyone: https://grist.org/cities/parking-rules-raise-your-rent/

So it would be interesting to examine whether these minimums have been eased in cities where ridesharing is popular. If so, that's definitely a win (potentially also for the local mass transit advocacy groups— this is a popular talking point).

Santa Monica recently approved (I believe) new development rules no longer requiring any parking minimums. Yay!

That's awesome. Yeah, a bunch of cities have abandoned or relaxed the minimums, sometimes on a zone basis if you're within X metres of a rapid transit stop.

The initial reports on it look really good: https://www.nickmagrino.com/blog/2018/1/30/when-you-dont-hav...
