Have we always wasted so much space for parking? I get that they serve an entire block, but they’re just cars - doing nothing 23h of the day.
Not to mention that the parking looks horribly designed. How will you get to your car, if it’s parked in the middle of the road in the middle of the block? You’ll first have to pass on the other side without cars paying much attention to you, and then also drive on the street, with the view being potentially blocked by a larger car (for you and the drivers on the street)
- deepsun 5y agoWell, parking in Kyiv is absolutely horrendous. I've talked with developers who plan new houses in Kyiv, and they just don't plan for parking space, because it's not worth it. More profitable to build extra living space. People really do park in 3 levels there, and put their phone number at the windshield. Granted, those who parked last, try to leave early, to unblock others. I hope that problem will lead to development of new transportation systems. Like personal metro, or self-driving parking cars.
- k_ 5y agoI agree about the waste of space and the seemingly bad design, but there's one thing I like about this: drivers have to use the crosswalk to get to their car, on (I suppose) busy streets. That's something far too uncommon (at least here in France) because car owners are always put first, and could raise much needed awareness. I want drivers to feel the insecurity surrounding cars so they might have a more responsible driving.
