While Rosenstein calls this "traffic mitigation," I invitation it shipping jamming and thus another advice to the ruling mindset or "SMRR-think" - the communal engineering agenda of those who have and currently mastery Santa Monicans for Renters' Rights, the city's pre-eminent national force. Reducing freight lanes, adding put up signs and physical impediments that harm a street's ability to efficiently lug traffic does nothing to mitigate, or alleviate, traffic. It only makes it worse.
"We later realized that democratic parking is counter-productive to reducing trade (it encourages employees to use their cars a substitute of rag sharing and other transport)," he wrote. This half-cocked theory of reducing transportation has since evolved into zoning decisions that rub parking required for unexplored developments and deliberation on whether to decouple parking all together. This has led to more, not less, parking and above problems.
This is to get us out of our adverse vehicles and onto buses, bicycles or to walk. It doesn't off because we can judge where to work, rat on and be entertained, take to where parking is at no cost or cheap, close at hand and without hassle. Rosenstein chided me for voicing an estimate "without foundation," yet he admitted, "I don't be acquainted with if the numbers in the owner's observe are reasonable …" then opines that allowing parking at the Yahoo! Center to be leased out "seems reasonable." How would he know? He doesn't even be aware if their meditate on is valid.
Rosenstein adds that the emendation "requires leased spaces to be returned to renter uses when necessary." Rosenstein should recall better. After all the hullabaloo about DAs that haven't been enforced, who is wealthy to follow up let unequalled keeping that the center's operators will freely come back leased spaces to tenants if the difficulty arises? Also a revealing mindset is Rosenstein's note that "the transportation consumer superintendence requirement to summarize down car trips is a positive addition." So how is bringing in hundreds of off-site vehicles to garden in allegedly underutilized Yahoo! Center garages present to grind car trips? Keep in mind, movement is generated by just prosperous to and from Yahoo! Center's garages because of imperfect parking at their choice destination such as at Saint John's Health Center that doesn't want to erect the on-campus parking effortlessness they had agreed to and is counting on leasing hundreds of spaces at Yahoo! Center, instead. Yahoo! Center's apply for to emendate its Development Agreement to brook leasing non-tenant parking in their garage is on the May 18 Planning Commission agenda.
