      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.

          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.
