Book
Paved paradise : how parking explains the world / Henry Grabar.
"An entertaining, enlightening, and utterly original investigation into one of the most quietly influential forces in modern American life-the humble parking spot. In a beguiling and often absurdly hilarious mix of history, politics, and reportage, Grabar brilliantly surveys the pain points of the nation's parking crisis, from Los Angeles to Disney World to New York, stopping at every major American city in between. He reveals how the pathological compulsion for car storage has exacerbated some of our most acute problems -- from housing affordability to the accelerating global climate disaster -- ultimately, lighting the way for us to free our cities from parking's cruel yoke"-- Provided by publisher.
