Why doesn't someone just build a huge commercial parking lot, and rent out parking spots? In a dense city like NY, it may actually work


There are plenty of these too. But street parking is always free or at least ~an order of magnitude cheaper, which is why people don't want to lose them


Less snarky answer than most people are giving you: street parking is free, while parking garages cost like a significant portion of your monthly rent per month.


There's parking garages all over the city.


Incredible idea, I wonder why nobody thought of that.

Step 1: Find a huge open space that can be paved over.


Japan has giant vertical parking garages with automated lifts. 15 stories, but it only requires a small piece of land. I'm sure you could make some money on that
