The Nonexistent Housing Crisis in the Car Industry.
Excess parking in the US is upending cities and lives, sacrificing front porches, affordable housing, and time spent looking for a spot. By square footage, there is more housing for each car than there is for each person. Building permits require a minimum number of parking spaces, but not for housing proposals, leading to a vicious cycle of more parking and driving. To create more walkable communities that are affordable, parking needs to be less of a priority.
