    There’s nothing stopping people from building them.

    There’s just no longer something forcing people to build them.

      thats a good point but again to go back to my original point people will do stupid things to deal with a no parking situation.

        For no parking? Short term they do stupid shit (like a large event). Long term they just get rid of cars.

        Ground and semi-recessed also makes a fantastic space for retail, which makes more money than parking. Digging subterranean JUST to add parking only adds costs, you don’t have to keep digging (or if you do, you can solid fill instead of putting in parking garages).

        Again, nothing stopping people from putting them in, but don’t think it’s free space or inexpensive to do.

          I mean I highly disagree because I have seen some stupid and I don’t know anyone who wanted to have a car who has not found a way to have one. Short term they might do without but I found folks who give up cars were willing to do it regardless of circumstances.

            It’s not something to agree or disagree with, traffic evaporation exists and cities which remove, charge for our increase charges on parking see reduced traffic volumes.
