Strong Towns Houston is advocating for changes to Houston's minimum parking requirements. Under Houston's Code of Ordinances, new properties must provide a minimum number of off-street parking spaces depending on the type and size of the building. The group argues that the land used for parking could instead support affordable housing and small businesses.
