I don't buy that all underground parking is a major problem seeing how NYC has found a way so close to the Hudson River, its all about being able to charge enough in rent to offset the costs of doing so, which we can't, yet. Parking podiums are our reality, I expect and demand, haha, that they at least not look like stacked surface parking lots. |
austin sits on like a foot of dirt and then a few hundred feet of limestone. nyc sits on wayyyy more dirt and has granite bedrock. granite is an order of magnitude easier to dig and drill through. and an order of magnitude less expensive.
tldr; if we sat on dirt and granite(like NYC) all our garages would be underground. and we would have a subway too.
