I'd like to see 2500 Weyerhauser employees trying to park at public spaces.

Most large employers are required to provide parking spots to their employees as a condition of doing business. .

Making more crap up out of whole cloth...why do you refuse to substantiate a single one of your claims?

Simple answer: you can't because they are lies.

That may or may not be true, depending on the jurisdiction. In urban areas few, if any, employees get parking spots from the company. My downtown DC employer provides no parking for its 600+ employees. Buildings are required to provide x number of parking spots, based on zoning laws. However, if a company is leasing space in a building, it is only entitled to however many parking spots it is able to get when negotiating the lease.

Again, it all comes down to zoning laws. However, I have never seen a requirement that an employer provide parking for its employees, only that a building have x number of parking spots available, in accordance with local zoning laws. An employer can require its employees to take public transit, car pool or park at pay parking lots in the vicinity.
