Let's be perfectly clear: some people can live without a car.
My last intention is to start an argument about car vs. no car using personal anecdotes as a basis for discussion. The fact that cannot be ignored is we live in a automotive centric society and the number of people who live car free and are decent earners, is very low. Am I saying they can't fill the apartments? no. I make no such claim.
My point is this:
There will be more residents with cars than they will have spaces for, there will be visitors with cars, and there will be service people with cars. There will be more cars than spaces, that cannot be argued as it is not my opinion or speculation, it's an absolute inevitability. Between ASU and local businesses along with all of the new apartments in the area, parking is already at a premium. Matt's Big Breakfast, The Velo, and Cobra all struggle daily with people parking in their lots and disappearing, do you think building an apartment structure with too few spaces will help that matter or make it worse?
