I actually suspect that most developers would actually like to provide less parking that parking minimums would allow - particularly for those projects near metros that are likely to have a higher percentage of residents who go carless. In residential situations those parking spaces - even if they are sold separately - may eat into higher profits that can be made another way (or at least won't add to the cost of a project with parking that might then go unsold).

I don't know that getting rid of parking minimums completely and replacing it with the equally blanket figure of parking maximums is the answer. I know having one rule that can be pointed to regardless of situation is easier than 2 or 3 that can be manipulated but I think we are beyond the one size fits all approach we have going now.
