Stephen SmithGrand Rapids? More like Grand Parking. In downtown alone, there are more than 30,000 parking spaces for a city with under 200,000 people. We need more infill development and to get rid of parking minimums, everywhere.

Waterfront real estate is very valuable but some cities have decided to have highways instead.
I genuinely wish you all health and happiness in the new year. May the year 2023 be your best chapter yet ❤️🎊
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is treated like such a joke in this country.
A newly rebuilt Chicago Interchange compared to Split, Croatia at the same scale.
A casual reminder that downtown Houston has 54,000 parking spaces per mile. You can fit 3 Vatican Citys into all the parking spaces in the area shown below, or 89 Super Walmarts.
If you estimate that the Polar Express operates in a straight line from Grand Rapids, MI to the North Pole, the long distance train trip would cost $17,100 per child subsidy. We need to get those costs down to have more children believe in Santa!🎅🏼🎅🏽🎅🏾 Merry Christmas! (Amtrak)
If Hudson Yards had to follow Jacksonville's parking requirements, the surface parking lot would take 180 city blocks or 11.5 Disneylands. It would displace 150,000 residents and 206,000 jobs and would take 52 minutes to walk across from end to end.
