Parking within buildings is still lousy because it is very hard to build buildings that have the necessary doors and ramps for car access and still have any spa

Parking within buildings is still lousy because it is very hard to build buildings that have the necessary doors and ramps for car access and still have any space left over for an active-use ground floor. Without active uses at sidewalk level, the streets are dead and you might as well drive everywhere anyway.
- illumin8 17y agoThis isn't that hard to do. Many of the new condo and coop buildings in NY suburbs have a simple driveway that leads down a ramp to the parking garage (below ground). The ground floor is used for retail space like a coffee shop or deli, floors 2-X are used for condos, and all parking is underground.
