Parking garages and other forms of mandated vehicle storage capacity are generally...not good. So, in the spirit of the season (of tax-deductible giving), please consider donating to a nonprofit that's laser-focused on this super-important issue: the Parking Reform Network!

(This is an unpaid endorsement...because I believe in PRN's mission and execution!)
In this fourth episode in our series on terrible land uses and everything that makes them bad for cities, we tackle parking garages -- downtown parking garages in particular. And we'll begin by examining a downtown that's much more typical of an average American city than you might think -- downtown Las Vegas.
At the heart of today's video is an inventory of parking structures in DTLV, with a particular focus on a newer, award-winning garage, the "Garage Mahal" at the Circa Resort & Casino. And, of course, plenty of discussion on how the provision of structured parking connects to transportation, land use, and climate.
All this -- and much more! Hope you "enjoy."
