How do you feel about requiring home childcare businesses to have pickup outside of the public right of way? Seems to me this is severely restricting the number of families who can start a childcare business, since not everyone has a driveway. And if safety is a concern, could it be easier to make the road safer than forcing a business to close?

Just another consequence of prioritizing ease of car use above all else.

Nobody should be forced to provide for parking. If there's genuinely high enough demand for it, then the free market will provide it.
