Ah, yes, let's all gather 'round and worship the holy grail of concrete and asphalt that miraculously *birthed* the tech mecca 🌟. Because, clearly, it's the office park's *manicured lawns* and *ample parking* that deserve all the credit for Silicon Valley's innovation explosion 🚀. #PavedParadise

I just finished reading #pavedparadise and would highly recommend it. I'm now onto the 3 part epic that is #ThePowerBroker. So far so good, but oh my word is this going to take a while to get through.

husband is listening to #PavedParadise and the author just name checked my small hometown... as an example of how awful their parking minimums are for apartment buildings 😬

In #PavedParadise, @henrygrabar reminds us that several ITE leaders have denounced how its parking demand estimates have been used.

“We expected you to be smart!” says one former VP.

“Nobody on the ground knows ITE has changed their tune,” adds Daniel McKenna-Foster.

This bit from #PavedParadise sure makes me think about Dane County Regional Airport in #MadisonWI, where I think we could have much better #transit service if the county was interested. #parkingreform

"In its best moments, driving feels like freedom, but our inability to get around any other way is a kind of prison"

"Parking is a mutant strain of yeast in the dough of architecture, making our designs bigger, uglier, and further apart".

I'm only a couple of pages into this book (a gift from a client who knows me too well!) and it's already throwing up some very quotable passages.
