Downtown Houston in 1970s was a massive parking lot. It was estimated that nearly 50% of the downtown land area was dedicated solely to parking. (lemmy.today)

What would you park there for? To visit the other parking a couple blocks down?

    And how would you get from your car to any actual place? Another smaller car?

    That reminds me! I had friends who lived in a small town and would drive to the city to work. They were complaining about spending half an hour looking for parking every day or pay the $25 all-day parking lot fee. They were walking distances near the train, so I recommended that to them as an option.

    What does this car brain do? They DRIVE to the train station one stop away from the job, and park there for free. Then ride the 2 minutes (one stop) to work.
