Yesterday I was at a gathering & someone commented about how great it was to see that a parking lot had been paved at local community arts hub. I understand that the prior muddy surface was not great, but I commented that I wished something other than asphalt could be used - something water permeable. The person did a face palm ... so much disagreement. We have/are developing significant flooding issues here as bigger building footprints & municipally mandated parking continue to expand. Rainfall amount seems to be increasing in storms & has nowhere to absorb into the ground - so it runs off into storm sewers, rivers, the lake & catch basins that are beyond capacity - and then we get flooding. Car still is king.
This interesting article popped up on a site I follow - did you know LA has more land designated for parking than for housing? What's the situation in your area?
