Seriously. Making good, steady progress on getting rid of them though.

This is kind of an obvious statement but it's wild when you really think just how much more stuff, people, places etc. can be fit in location that was a forgettable dusty parking lot for decades prior. It'll always be weird to me that we can have a $2B 70+ storey luxury hotel proposal on a parking lot a block away from a parking lot where the owner is cool just parking cars.

The Beltline has nearly tripled it's population in the past 30 years to nearly 30,000 or so now, lots of that growth is from replacing parking lots with towers. We could probably double that population again and still have a few parking lots left!

But where will people park?

But where will people park?

Mostly in bike lanes, I suspect.

I’d be curious to know how many empty parking lots are left in the Beltline. We’ve seen lots of development, but a lot of of those have replaced an existing building.
