        Underground spots are roughly 20 to 50 thousand dollars each. Surface lots are only a few thousand per spot.

        Do you want to invest in my coffee shop idea? I need a few million dollars to build the required parking.

          It’s hard to think beyond the individualistic businesses oriented thinking. I see you, it’s ok.

          But I was thinking about public parking spaces.

            Parking regulations don’t apply to public projects. Strong Towns well documents the problem with parking regulations as they are written and applied in practice. I highly recommend checking it out.
