What's wrong with underground parkings?
More expensive than the building itself below a certain size
That's what regulations are for
Underground spots are roughly 20 to 50 thousand dollars each. Surface lots are only a few thousand per spot.
Do you want to invest in my coffee shop idea? I need a few million dollars to build the required parking.
It's hard to think beyond the individualistic businesses oriented thinking. I see you, it's ok.
But I was thinking about public parking spaces.
maybe we just don't really need the parking spaces?
People that need parking spaces choose their representatives and attend city halls. May we need to do the same...
Parking regulations don't apply to public projects. Strong Towns well documents the problem with parking regulations as they are written and applied in practice. I highly recommend checking it out.
Nothing. Build it if you want, but parking minimums are anti-people and city decaying laws.
The point is, parking minimums should include area maximum. But yeah it seems they are especially designed to be awefull...
Keep the space underground available for underpasses and subways.
