>At first that seems crazy, but it makes sense if you think about the fact that all the places you go in a day need to have enough parking to meet their peak demand all year

"Need to", because, god forbid if people:

(a) take the public transit (or build a decent public transit in the first place),

(b) park a little further down (e.g. half a mile or so), and walk to the place you want to go.

God forbid that these are suburban areas where public transit effectively makes no sense for the loosely-packed population- you might as well be blowing away $ building parking spaces half a mile away.

Places which (b) happen already have (a) and vice-versa.

God forbid people didn't create environmentally disastrous and socially ho-hum suburban sprawls...
