Probably the biggest problem with cars in cities is that they require huge amounts of land for storage (a.k.a. parking). Here is a photo of Midtown Atlanta between 5th street and 12th street. This is one of the densest and most pedestrian-friendly ares in the entire state of Georgia. The red blocks indicate parcels of land that are 100% dedicated to car storage.

Can I just say that I’m so glad Dens is a supporter of the Livable Streets movement? Innovative, bright minds like his are going to help us ween ourselves from a car-obsessed culture.

And a problem with THAT is that parking space is MANDATED by local zoning regulations, instead of being set by supply...
