Many people in Oregon are watching with interest as PDX allows more and more developers to put in multi-housing units without providing what has long been considered a normal number of parking units. I find it entertaining that people think they own the on-street parking in front of their houses and are furious when either someone parks there or when it is proposed that it be removed. I'll admit that I don't like it when people park in front of my house either, but I just don't care much for cars. If I could remove the parking in front of my house I would do it in a heartbeat.
