You could, but that would cost several orders of magnitude more than a patch of asphalt for parking. Why is it surprising that there’s more cheap-to-build car

Why is it surprising that there’s more cheap-to-build car parking than there is expensive-to-build housing?
- CalRobert 3y agoParking can be very expensive to build. This is a great thread on that. https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/6lvwh4/im_an_architect_in_la_specializing_in_multifamily/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/6lvwh4/im_an_ar...
- trimethylpurine 3y agoThis is interesting, but it's referring to a very small amount of parking space. Certainly not more than living space.
- CalRobert 3y agoParking is a very substantial portion of the space. " So not only is 32% of your apartment just for your car and otherwise useless, but its also by far the most expensive part of that apartment to build." in the example linked, for reference.
- trimethylpurine 3y agoThis is irrelevant. Expensive* parking isn't a significant portion. And the amount of space doesn't matter when the space is not limited.
