Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World by Henry GrabarMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fascinating, extensively researched and documented non-fiction book about parking and how it impacts city development. Henry Grabar is a writer for Slate and he presents quite a few case studies of various city's parking laws, problems, and outcomes, which include housing prices, city expansion, parking availability and pricing, traffic patterns, and the decline of downtown areas.
I read this for one of my book clubs and have to admit that this was an incredibly lively discussion! Everyone had something to say and an anecdote to report.
