Brent Toderian likes to start Twitter hashtags that revolve around city building. One of his most recent is #LookWhatFitsInAParkingLot. For this one, he asked the Twittersphere to consider the things we love in cities that might fit inside a parking lot. Here is one of the best responses -- Dodger Stadium edition: https://twitter.com/pw3n/status/1176349879154556931?s=20 Venice, Amsterdam, and Shibuya (Tokyo) were all overlaid -- at the same scale -- on the surface parking surrounding Dodger Stadium. There are about 16,000 parking spaces, which actually take up more land than the stadium itself. To be fair, I bet if you overlaid parts of Los Angeles on this same parking, it would look similarly astounding. But that shouldn't change what you take away from this post: parking is very land consumptive.
