What size should a parking spot be? Who should pay for a larger one? Over the last number of years, it feels like large vehicles have become more commonly used but most built infrastructure remains the same. I notice this at the city owned parking lot a couple blocks from my house - the whole thing becomes very difficult to navigate with the length and width of some modern pickup trucks/SUVs. It sounds like it's not…
On a related note, many economists argue public free parking should not exist. People should have to pay the real cost of providing it, which includes maintenance, but also the opportunity cost of not using that land for something else. Therefore larger spaces should cost more.
