The masochists of Seattle continue to vote-in complete nincompoops. This time evidenced by them voting to remove/not-require parking spaces. Their stupid logic is this: If we eliminate parking spots, we'll have fewer cars thus a better environment.

Councilmember Mike O’Brien praised the proposal and said it’s another indicator that Seattle is serious about reducing carbon emissions.
“You all have elected a council that is committed to doing climate work,” he said.
People held up signs condemning parking, another woman wore a turtleneck shirt that read that driving is “immoral and immature.” Another person informed the council she can get where she wants easily on mass transit.
“If you built it they will come,” the woman said. “That means if you build parking you encourage cars.”
A man, who said he has owned an apartment building in Eastlake for 30 years, told the council many of his tenants need to drive as far as Bellevue for work. He said the parking reforms will punish them.
“The idea that they’ll give up their cars when you restrict street parking I don’t believe is realistic,” he said.
Henrique Romero, who works at Amazon and walks to work from his South Lake Union apartment, said he pays $200 month for parking.
Idiots.
