In the post-war auto era, parking has dominated urban development. Denver has more acres of parking lots than parks. Nationally we paved over several states worth of land for up to 2 billion parking spaces. On top of poor land use and environmental/aesthetic consequences, parking costs dictate pro formas and drive up the cost of real estate, squeezing out affordability and leasable/salable space.
Is that scenario changing? The rise of ride sharing, FasTracks, walking and biking may be decreasing parking demand. Autonomous vehicles may eliminate the need for parking as we know it.
