If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

What's wrong with underground parkings?

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.
