Downtown Houston is 26% parking
That means the Bayou City has more parking space downtown than most major metros in the U.S."With all this parking, little land [is] left for anything else, making housing more expensive, less dense and farther apart," the network said on its website. "It's clear that if we want to have walkable cities, we need cities that are less parkable."Yes, but:
Some of Houston's parking lots are vanishing. From 2010-2020, 21 lots were razed, with buildings put in their place, according to the Downtown District. Those include the Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Partnership Tower, Marriott Marquis, Hampton Inn and Suites, and Aris Market Square.Houston's minimum parking rules, which require developers to build a certain number of parking spaces based on the size or occupancy of the building, aren't required in downtown, Midtown and parts of the East End.
