Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World by Henry Grabar

informative inspiring fast-paced

4.75

I really enjoyed the very skeptical approach this book takes towards the concept of the anti-parking thought process. The storytelling and the factual recounting of facts are unmatched, and although it doesn't spend too much time on the counter perspectives (I think that it is probably assuming that the reader can supply that themselves) it does a good job talking about the range of opinions. 

The only weak point of the book is that it spends far too much time discussing the parking meter issues in Chigaco and the mess that it is and was.
