Parking for vehicles doesn’t have to take up all that space. Multilevel car parks or even underground parking would take care of most of the wasted space.
I used to live near Fenway Park in Boston, and one of the reasons I left was parking. It was a great location for transit and I used that for day to day stuff, but couldn’t entirely give up my car. However, even being willing to pay Boston prices for parking, everything I checked was “except during Fenway events”. I could pay ridiculous money to keep a car in, but would still have to move it for games

I mean, obviously public transportation is better, but yes.
Vertical expansion is better than horizontal expansion 9/10 times.

Except that cars are heavy, so multi-level parking is prohibitively expensive.
That’s a good point and, in retrospect, the multilevel is almost better for the comparison as the people are also multilevel.
