u/hannibalbaracka is on a weird anti-parking crusade

https://old.reddit.com/user/hannibalbaracka

He/She/It has been going around spamming city subreddits with what % of their downtown is dedicated to parking

Not too sure what to make of it. Bot? Autistim? Carphobia?

They obviously spam info from https://parkingreform.org/, which is obviously anti-parking lots.

The Parking Reform Network educates the public about the impact of parking policy on climate change, equity, housing, and traffic. In partnership with allied organizations, we accelerate the adoption of critical parking reforms through research, coalition-building, and direct advocacy.

Blah blah standard DEI NGO more bikes and buses and less cars

These threads have the most impressions

I thought most parking in city core areas now are multilevel underground garages now so most of the space is not only used for parking right? Or does the maps only count the parking lot fields.

Edit: just read their methodology :marseybrainlet: Looks like they are counting surface parking only but IMO most developers would probably like that land to be another condo or something so I'm sure there more than just big car at play at a lot of those locations
