I understand you like dense housing, but not having a car in LA severely limits where you can work. The nice places to work are not clustered in downtown (which is all you could realistically do if you had not car). The greater LA area is very car centric, and I'd find it hard to believe you'd find it convenient to live in LA proper and commute to, say, Anaheim (or even Brea) without access to a car.

Not building parking spaces in LA would be denying the realities of living there.

To take a page from the anti-SB827 forces, why have one size fits all? Why should I pay 33% extra on my housing if I can get by without a car? For example, maybe I live and work in Santa Monica, and can bike, walk, and ride share?

Refusing to allow people to go carless has a predictable result, that is self enforcing. I would say that "denying reality" is when people refuse to allow others to be different from them.

And it's not just LA, it's the entire state.
