Lot's of pre sale units now don't allow buyers to buy a parking spot even if they want to. Some don't allow one bedroom apartments to have parking or you need to buy above a certain floor to have the option to get parking.
I think the reason why the gov is doing very little about the parking issue is they are hoping with some much grid lock people get annoy enough to give up driving and stick to pubic transit. The issue is public transit stinks in Van. Is fine if you live near a skytrain and your work place is also near skytrain. Otherwise driving is always better. Add to the fact there are still tons of area in Vancouver that isn't transit friendly or accessabile. Vancouver is known for our outdoor activities and to get to these outdoor activiates you need to drive.
Public transit works in other cities because that's the lifestyle. It is the norm to take the bus, ride the subway and driving is a luxury. Add to the fact is actually faster and easier to get around with public transit (IE HK, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand etc etc...). Not in Vancouver though.
