I think of the hardest things to believe when I learned about it was that almost everywhere in the United States has laws that force anyone building a business to build parking. Often the parking has to be more in square foot terms then the building itself! In my town if you build a place that serves alcohol you have to build more parking than for any other type of building. It’s crazy to me that we mandate paving over large sections of our town. I used to blame Walmart for moving into an area and buying up local businesses and destroying them to build a parking lot, but now I know they were legally required to do that!
