The host explores the negative repercussions of the obsession with parking spots on mental well-being, neighborhoods, cities, and the environment, and introduces Henry Grabar as a guest who supports the idea of having fewer parking spots.
Free and available parking is a cornerstone of American society, but is it also our undoing?
