They're bad for cars, so the establishment is decrying them as ruining America. I went two years with nothing more than a carshare membership when I lived in a 5+1 because I was three blocks from a grocery store and that three blocks had every type of restaurant I frequent. As soon as I moved back into a "traditional" American residential neighborhood, I needed a car again.
They are great for cars. For a lot of them every unit gets a spot and theres even guest spots. Sure beats the old way of hoping you find street parking.
They are actually terrible for bikes. Mine and the rest in the rack in the garage were stolen and management was not helpful at all and didn’t produce security tapes. Bike thieves know following a car in to one of these is an easy way to steal bikes.
