Parking
Joni Mitchell could be hailed as a prophet when she sang ‘they paved paradise and put up a parking lot’ in her 1970 song, Big Yellow Taxi. In America today, there are eight parking spaces for every car. California has a bill pending to stop building regulations from prescribing minimum amounts of parking. Think of all the space that could be freed up for nature and the community if that was reduced to a one-to-one ratio, let alone if we cut overall car use by making cycling, scootering, public transport, car sharing and taxis more convenient, affordable and pleasurable.
