The main issue he cites seem to be parking taking up so much space. Wouldn't a parking deck solve this? Build a 6 story garage and the 18% goes to 3%.



Parking garages are enormously expensive. They can cost up to 50k per space. For instance the parking garage at the Chinese theater cost as much as the theater itself


Wow, really? Did not know or expect that. Not intuitive that they should be that expensive. In my mind they are just giant blocks of shaped concrete and should be extraordinarily simple to put together compared to something like a mall.

What makes them so expensive?
