A much structured and detailed argument against parking lots is done by Jane Jacobs in her book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities." She shows data, not just a hand-picked (bad) example.
- masterj 17y agoAn excellent book, and one that I've sadly yet to get all the way through.

It's long and pretty dry, but the first few chapters at least are very enlightening.
