The High Cost of Free Parking is an urban planning book by UCLA professor Donald …
The average size of an off-street parking space is assumed to be 330 ft.², including the access aisles needed for circulation in the parking lot or structure. San Jose requires 25 parking spaces per 1000 ft.² of dining area and a restaurant, so the parking lot is 8250 ft.² for every 1000 ft.² of dining area.

Cars are just so inefficient. Every time I think about the ramifications of designing our cities around them I feel like I’m going crazy.
