內容簡介

Shortlisted for the Zócalo Book Prize

"Consistently entertaining and often downright funny." --The New Yorker

"You might expect a book about parking to be a snore. But . . . it’s a romp, packed with tales of anger, violence, theft, lust, greed, political chicanery, and transportation policy gone wrong . . . highly entertaining." --The Los Angeles Times

Parking, quite literally, has a death grip on America: each year a shocking number of Americans kill one another over parking spots, and we routinely do ridiculous things for parking, contorting our professional, social, and financial lives to get a spot. Since the advent of the car, we have deformed our cities in a Sisyphean quest for car storage, and as a result, much of the nation’s most valuable real estate is now devoted to empty vehicles. Parking determines the design of new buildings and the fate of old ones, traffic patterns and the viability of transit, neighborhood politics and municipal finance, and the overall quality of public space. Is this really the best use of our finite resources? Is parking really more important than everything else?

In a beguiling and absurdly hilarious mix of history, politics, and reportage, Slate staff writer Henry Grabar brilliantly surveys the nation’s parking crisis, revealing how the compulsion for car storage has exacerbated some of our most acute problems--from housing affordability to the accelerating global climate disaster--and, ultimately, how we can free our cities from parking’s cruel yoke.
