That's what I don't get. This development clearly isn't targeting those people who need to own multiple cars for their job. There are housing developments for those people.

Why are some people so stuck on the idea that every house should have stuff for everyone?

I feel like concerns about neighbourhood parking getting out of control is overblown. If you're someone who relies on your vehicle so much that you can't envision life without it, are you really willing to put up with regularly finding an open parking spot on a side street, walking 10+ minutes back to your home, and then having to remember where you parked your car this time when you head back? Sounds like a bloody nightmare.

I'm sure some people would do it, especially since being picky isn't always an option in the current housing environment. But I suspect the vast majority wouldn't even consider it an option.

Exactly! Plus, you're already connected by SkyTrain to key points of interest, so your car usage would probably be quite limited anyway.
