Adam Krom presented American Community Survey (ACS) data to support a proposed parking ordinance requiring only 0.7 parking spaces per unit, with zero-parking requirements for affordable housing and units under 750 sq ft. This analysis demonstrates that the data is statistically unreliable for policy use, misrepresents actual car ownership, and would create a significant parking deficit by the proposal’s own math.
