Further proof there is just too much parking in downtown LA..the CRA just gave the Broad Museum an extra 100 parking spaces. Apparently the previous 284 was "too little". Because, as we know, EVERYBODY drives and NOBODY will use Metro. Absolutely ridiculous. Now, this increases traffic. More convenient to drive, less reason to go Metro. Imagine if Chicago and New York had the ridiculous convenience of massive parking garages. I guarantee their transit ridership would be lower and there would be a perception of more traffic. Los Angeles is the world-class example in this.
