Summary

Henry Grabar is the author of the fascinating book, "Paved Paradise: How Parking Changed the World". He's going to fill us in on how building cities for cars has influenced the design of homes, buildings, and parking, and how all of it influences how we live. He also enlightens us on why free parking isn't always the best idea; one reason why rent is so high; how losing parking in front of restaurants can actually help; and what Chicago did very wrong. https://www.henrygrabar.com/ Recorded July 7, 2023 Head to https://www.factormeals.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off Get 20% OFF exclusively at https://www.calderalab.com/TIRE to unlock your youthful glow and be ready for summer with Caldera + Lab! #teamcaldera Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code SMOKINGTIRE for $20 off your first purchase.
