As to parking on Knight and 12th - its a perfect illustration of the downside of Vancouver not having built a freeway system. Residential streets being forced to act as major arterials and the residents suffering as a result.

If Vancouver had built a freeway system. It would of just looked like every other city in North America. Transit would have been a failure. It also wouldn't be near the top of the most livable cities lists that come out. The city wouldn't have been as dense as it is today if they had built the freeways. You would of had more people living further out. With more people driving longer distances.
