Riding around on Christmas morning and seeing how much land is devoted to parking lots

It might be the only day of the year when almost all of them are empty. With no vehicles around the scale of all those asphalt surfaces at strip malls and Walmarts becomes readily apparent. What if they weren’t needed and were something else?
As a society we certainly spend a lot of our time, resources, and land on our vehicles.

We should make every parking lot a wind turbine

We had millennia of being stuck at home with philosophers like you. We were motivated.

Definitely doesn’t help with flooding.

Contributes a bunch to increased flooding risk as well.

Correct, as the vehicle is the most efficient mode of transportation we have. It allows us to bring food and clothing home. It allows us to connect with friends and family. It allows us to travel to see other parts of the country and learn more about who we are.
I don't see the problem.

Thinking of all the dildo stores that could take the place of those pesky parking lots?

This post has me thinking that I need to go and get another vehicle for Christmas. Three isn’t enough

R/frickcars would be a good place for you to visit

I have 4 cars in my family, but only 2 drivers.

Do you really have that little to do

The thing that always strikes me when I come back to visit family in a small town in Alabama is the amount of unused, mostly abandoned paved lots.
There is pretty much enough parking now for every person in the entire county to park within walking distance of any store all at the same time.
Yet, when I come back next summer I'll see 20 more acres of woods cleared and more metal buildings with big parking lots with twice as many newly abandoned ones all around.
In the town paper, I'll read a local politician bragging about growth.

Subscription driving service with driverless technology will probably be here soon enough.
Basically driverless Uber is what I'm envisioning.

Don’t worry there won’t be anywhere to go shortly. Or anything worth buying once you get there.

We should ban the automobile and all use ATV's instead. The gubmint fooks up I-10 and there's gridlock? Through the median to work, it is.
Never mind, some dickhead would prolly want to enforce electric ATV's and not have enough electric to charge them.

Every place without parking lots is a shithole. It’s a direct correlation. Moving from Northern California to Southern California blew my mind. There was nowhere where you could just park your car easily (or for free) and leave it for however long you wanted. Hell sometimes I’d leave it for a weekend or something.
It’s the new thing I look for if I’m scouting out a new place to live. Do we have parking lots? Or is it some shitty faux European pussy bullshite where’s it’s “so much more enjoyable to walk and take public transit”
Eat a dick.
Public transit is a place for the homeless to defecate

what would we do with roads? can't just stop with parking lots, keep going down your line of thought.
