Housing First; Cars Last Underutilized parking lots are a costly waste. By managing parking more efficiently, cities can free up land to house people rather than cars.

Todd Litman | December 15, 2020, 5am PST Share Vic Hinterlang Entertainer Will Rogers once noted that, The United States is the only country ever to go to the poorhouse in an automobile.
