I wonder how you would determine this, given that free parking is a substantial sunk cost which would otherwise discourage car ownership in favor of fewer vehicles or other modes?
I grew up in Texas and saw what seemed to be a substantial over-supply of parking.
- wahern 8y agoIn Houston and Dallas about 1/3 of office parking spots sit empty at peak usage: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Are-we-building-too-much-parking-13244081.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/articl... I think the issue is that it only takes a single office building or big box store to overflow its parking for people to internalize the notion that parking is scarce and we need to require more of it. All the empty parking goes unnoticed because empty parking spots or parkings lots aren't, individually, a problem.
