On this episode of the Break/Fix, we engage in a stimulating conversation with Henry Grabar, a writer from Slate Magazine and author of 'Paved Paradise'. The discussion revolves around the influence of parking on daily life and urban planning. Grabar explains his motivation behind writing the book, stemming from his observations of excessive parking lots in American cities and his work as a journalist covering architecture and transportation. Key points include the history and evolution of parking, the impact of parking requirements on affordable housing, the challenges posed by the transition to electric vehicles, and comparisons between American and European approaches to parking. The conversation also highlights how parking policies exacerbate housing costs and how charging for parking could create more efficiency. The episode concludes with considerations on making parking greener and Grabar's future plans.
