”Atlanta, like all cities, used to be walkable and people actually lived IN the city instead of commuting 50 miles every day.“
This article highlights the parts of the city which are 100% dedicated to parking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6883589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6883589

As I commented on the original submission, they aren't there because of the market for parking, but because it's an easy use for commercially zoned land while you wait for someone to build a highrise on it.

Your first link gives me ”Unknown or expired link.“, in the second I can travel up to the original submission. Strange, anyone knows why that is happening?
