At least in my experience most American parking garages are above ground (here in Springfield they are among the tallest buildings in the city lol), but I'm not so fussed about redeveloping *garages* as I am about redeveloping *surface lots.*https://twitter.com/TomGMS/status/1020312439085322240 …

oh yea that's a whole nother issue. honestly they should just get rid of all roads into the city and convert the roads on bridges to rail housings...then just have a parking garage by the bridges for ppl who are travelling in, before the state rail system is fully implemented
-
nooooo having the roads is fine, it's just ludicrous to have people ducking in and out of traffic to park on-street maybe some roads get closed to vehicle traffic...but that would be so pedestrians could use! also maybe close some roads to private vehicles, make bus-only
-
I just think it would be cool to have a city that you can only enter through a train lol...but you're quite right that you'd obviously want other forms of transit available. the train only thing is probably only possible in star wars, where all the trains just float, so go figure
-
one of my chief problems w the car dependence thing is that you only can use ONE mode of travel no matter what kind of trip you're making (and God help u if u don't have a car); I don't want to repeat the mistake with another mode (except--MAYBE--walking)
-
this might be pretty out there but maybe car congestion has made things like subways and buses less accessible & less efficient to the point that if you take cars out of the equation, transit services are able to actually adapt and become able to fulfill the same needs as cars.

to an extent...but only because we're talking about NYC, I wouldn't say the same for somewhere like Tokyo
-
yeah please take everything I say with the "I've only seen NYC and DC" pill lol. I'm curious though: which do you prefer: the kind of tighter, more packed NYC style of city or a more open, less vertical, sprawling kind?
-
There are few if any cities like NYC out there--it doesn't really work as a "type" since it's too unusual. What I like is cities with buildings a lot closer together than they are in NYC, but also a lot smaller than they are in NYC.
