So what you're saying (see also: me leading my own inference) is we could alleviate our affordable housing issues by removing half of these parking lots.

I wish it were that easy. Did you see steve's post a while back?

Land availability is not the barrier to more affordable housing, nor are land prizes the biggest chunk of that equation. If that were the case, I think people would've built affordable housing over those parking space.
