economist:
For as long as there have been cars, there has been a need to store them when they are not moving—which, these days, is about 95% of the time. Washington, DC, had a parking garage in 1907, before Ford produced its first Model T.
Parking can seem like the most humdrum concern in the world. Even planners, who thrill to things like zoning and floor-area ratios, find it unglamorous. But parking influences the way cities look, and how people travel around them, more powerfully than almost anything else.
Parking isn’t one of those things you think about until you can’t find a space. But is surprising how it can affect the livability of an area.
Where cities are concerned, fewer single-user cars and more mass transit would be better.
Parking in DC is nightmare when all those Government workers going in and out!

So much of government has worked toward subsidizing the cost of cars, at the expense of cities. How about we reverse the trend, and make car owners pay for themselves? Starting with picking up the cost for: highways, vehicle accidents ($871 billion/year), gas subsidies, etc? No wonder cities around the world are doing great – except in the United States.
