        Publicly-available parking spots take up 2.28 square miles of San Francisco. That's 1.43 Golden Gate Parks.

        @ptraughber @paulg exactly - houses with no driveways, no cars parked along roads, etc. Our towns will be so much more beautiful.

        @paulg they already look a lot different from the days when we had horses and trolleys. Imagine what happens with autonomous cars.

        @paulg Given that every gas station is essentially a super-fund site to-be I think their husks will be with us for a long time.
