@jonjon.mp4: We understand intuitively that some places qualify as destinations… And therefore shouldn’t prioritize something like parking. We would never put a parking spot inside of a store. Similarly, there are places in our city. We should consider destinations where we don’t need to prioritize parking. Parts of neighborhoods, our downtowns, in similar places. Other videos: 1.

So you’re saying make parking lots destinations by adding 8 foot werewolf statues and pallets of wine? Ok… I’m listening

I agree with this, with the exception to “we don’t like parking spots as hangouts” being tailgating for football games

This is why they don’t have curbside delivery, they want you IN their stores!

I agree with almost all of this but as a former broke teenager, some people do like hanging out in parking lots

Now do bringing a Costco shopping cart into a local co-op grocery store. (It’s like bringing a huge truck into a dense city)

As a KC native, seeing those old pics of KC hurts my heart. I’m sure some of those old buildings had to go for structural safety but damn did we miss out 😬

What would an ideal parking lot design be to avoid having pedestrians walking behind cars that are backing up?

My nearest Costco has no ground level parking, but has 3 floors of parking in a garage directly above the store. There's an escalator specifically designed for shopping carts to take you up and down.

Please tell me you have read The Power Broker. (If you have I would assume you listen to 99PI.) Love your videos and I love that book. I’ve appreciated both more as I’ve watched your videos.

But costco doesnt want you walking by a different electronics store, grocer, clothing store bookstore. The parking ensures you got to ONLY costco
