Don't wait for the state to mandate it. Individual cities can take the lead by doing it themselves. We have to expect that some progressive individual cities will be quicker to do these things than the state as a whole. However, in "progressive" Berkeley, the NIMBYs would go insane if someone introduced a bill eliminating the minimum parking requirement (those who are not insane already).

SF should abolish all parking minimums right now. Forcing developers to construct off-street parking substantially increases the cost of housing, and as we know, adding off-street parking does not increase overall parking supply.
