"In places where land is scarce and expensive, however, and where many people can travel by non-auto modes, the distortion introduced by a minimum parking requirement might be large."
"Places where land is scarce and expensive" applies to down town LA, and downtown Portland (and much of NW Portland), but it is not true at 40th and Division.
