Where automobiles hang out

Lately, I've been seeing a lot about the (hidden) subsidies for cars in this country. Three articles that stand out:

• This LA Mag article on why Los Angeles has more parking spaces per capita than New York, and how those spaces have influenced those cities
• Another article on parking lots, but this one focused on their aesthetics
• An Atlantic piece on how roads came to be redefined as "places for cars to drive"

Many of these pieces are inspired by Donald Shoup's The High Cost of Free Parking, which I suspect is probably worth reading.

Of course, there is also parking lot art.
