Even without tackling the mistaken sentiment that lack of easily available parking = bad for downtown, this article suffers a really brazen leap of logic in an effort to appear alarmist.
If I follow correctly... The Boston Common garage is adding more spaces, which will reach the cap (horror!). But then, at the same time, parking spaces in the seaport are getting filled in (oh no!). But Scotty, don't you see how the second point makes the first point a non-issue? That as spaces get eliminated, new spots can be accomodated under the cap? It sometimes helps to follow through the logic of one's argument before hitting "send".
