When you have 6:42 minutes to spare, I highly recommend spending it on this video (fact-filled AND entertaining):

Couple of teaser facts: (1) There are 8 parking spots per car in the US, and (2) parking takes up 30% of land in cities.
As Donald Shoup notes: "Land is expensive for housing but free for parking. And you wonder why we have a problem?"
