Description

Off-street parking requirements are devastating American cities. So says the author in this no-holds-barred treatise on the way parking should be. High Cost of Free Parking, the author argues, shows how free parking has contributed to auto dependence, rapid urban sprawl, extravagant energy use, and a host of other problems.

Planners mandate free parking to alleviate congestion and boost the economy, believing it to be beneficial. However, this policy often results in more harm than good.
