So it looks like a lot of parking, but – When you need one, it's not necessarily available. The second big part of that is that the parking is free. And because the best street parking in most places is free, it becomes really hard to get a spot there. And if you just charge even a little bit for that really good parking, people who would otherwise get there early in the morning and park all day,

We'll park a little further away. And then when you show up at lunch or to run an errand or to do a delivery, there'll be a parking space available to you. I mean, you might have to pay a couple quarters for it, but that's better than driving around the block 100 times.

Is there any sense or any statistic about how much the typical car owner pays to park their car?

Most people park for free most of the time. I would say upwards of 90% of the time people park for free. And when you – in fact, parking, free parking is basically the number one determinant of Of car ownership and car use.

So it's one of the great ironies about parking is that one of the reasons we built so much parking and we required people to build so much parking was that we were very concerned about traffic. Like traffic was a total nightmare in American cities in the 1940s and 50s. And the reason for this, people thought, was that there wasn't enough parking. So they built all this free parking.

And one of the great ironies is that all that free parking encouraged many, many more people to buy cars and drive them everywhere. And as the urban environment degraded with more and more parking lots taking the place of buildings, it became more and more challenging to, say, walk or ride a bike or take transit to a new destination. And so in this way, parking is like a narcotic, right?
