Waterloo's new startup neighbourhood has a parking problem

Waterloo's new startup neighbourhood has a parking problem. Anthony Reinhart argues that it's time to break with car culture:

"Free and cheap parking – and huge parking lots, often with empty spaces – were everywhere, even downtown. People drove everywhere, even just a few blocks, often alone in their cars. And still they felt there wasn’t enough parking if they had to park more than a minute’s walk from their destination."

Driving to work takes me 12 minutes, biking is 20 minutes and the bus is at least 36 minutes. I should bike more.
