Overview
• The proposal calls for eliminating parking minimum requirements for new housing developments citywide.
• Parking minimums are zoning rules that require developers to build a set amount of off-street parking as part of new housing projects.
• In an interview, Mamdani said his housing plan includes fully eliminating the parking mandate, arguing that current zoning dedicates excessive public space to parking despite most New Yorkers walking, biking, or using transit.
