    You can read the caveat in the article:

    That means apartment developers no longer have to provide parking for tenants if their project comes within a half mile of a Chicago Transit Authority and Metra rail line or a quarter mile away from a bus line.

    This is inherently predicated on existing public transit lines. And eliminating more personal vehicle traffic means better bus transit and micromobility.

      Yeah I saw that. My issue was due to what happened in Charlotte, NC where they had a very similar wording for their downtown area only to later remove the caveat where the builders had to check what public transportation is already available.
