Unfortunately I have no faith in this. Builders will keep building bigger. Companies will re-paint existing lots.
Without laws (that get enforced) to limit the size of the spaces, the cars, or both things will get worse.
- jjeaff 4y agoYa, the problem sometimes with the free market is that the general public is far more willing than me to just keep suffering. Case in point would be coach seating on most airlines. If people would just raise their standards a little bit and be willing to pay a little more. I just want an experience that doesn't torture me without paying 10x for business class.
- acdha 4y agoIt’s also not a very free market: we don’t tax vehicles or charge for parking based on size, many people live in areas where they’re legally required to pay for lots of car storage, and there’s a somewhat literal arms race where people feel the need to buy bigger vehicles to avoid coming off poorly in a collision with someone else who already did.
- edmundsauto 4y agoIn Southern California, I feel like parking spots have gotten smaller to cram a larger number of them into the same area.
- lithos 4y agoYeah doubt companies will allow parking spots to get bigger, you're talking about coming companies coming up with thousands of square feet of space. And turning a likely loss leader of some sort into a bigger one.
