This is what happens when you have way too much land from killing all the indigenous people. You pour asphalt everywhere instead of building a parking garage.
sorry, but
pour toxic waste everywhere
indigenous people
sprays pesticide all over food
don’t know
kill every buffalo and pile their skulls into a mountain
how to
turn the entire continental shelf into a parking lot
use the
embalm the dead with formaldehyde and bury them in an expensive box that biodegrades as slowly as possible
land properly
burn fossil fuels until the planet becomes uninhabitable
so god gave it to us instead
eating nothing but burgers for 50 years
it’s called manifest destiny you wouldn’t understand it
die of stomach cancer
Seriously, even the dinky minor league team near me has parking garages.
This is what happens when you want to brag about your green design but don’t actually give a shit about sustainability.
Pouring a bunch of asphalt in a massive rectangle would reduce the overall footprint by like 60%.
This was somebody who thought “green infrastructure” meant randomly placing trees and spreading out parking spaces.
Amazing to think that all that parking could be replaced with one singular train station.
There’s a train station near a stadium here, and you still have to walk like 15 minutes to the stadium lol
7 train to Citi field stay winning
🎶 Meet the Mets, meet the Mets 🎶
Even more amazing when you realize that there is a train line that runs within a half mile of home plate and there isn’t a stop, much less a pedestrian pathway.
LA is truly cooked.
This was built on top of a bulldozed immigrant community
The temple of the car.
Dementus noises intensifies.
They should install shuttle busses around the stadium to cart people to and from their parking
I was just going to say imagine forgetting where you parked in that nightmare.
time consuming but with event parking everyone else leaves over time so it’s one of the few left, would be awful for general parking though for sure with people coming and going
They do in some places like amusement parks
This is a thing at the disney operation in florida. They have shuttles, a monorail, and no shit actual paddle boats to transport people from the massive desert of parking lots to the actual theme parks.
some straight up Eldritch horror if you ask me
If you think the aesthetics are dystopic, wait until you read about what the city did to the Chavez ravine to make way for the stadium.
seize your Chavez.
Destroy california
They are building a dumb gondola to the stadium
Aren’t they also building a dumb gondola to the new Clippers arena, too?
If we implemented HSR, how will people hold tailgate parties? You’re telling me you want to actually drive home sober?
It’d be legit hilarious if we solved transit and then built symbolic pickups outside sports facilities for tailgating. Like just a ritual parking lot where no actual parking happens.
Concrete sculptures of f-150s with their tailgate down and one of those permanent charcoal park grills right behind it.
just benches made to look like tailgates, a perfectly normal public park scene :)
This is peak managerial design.
“We want to make it a green parking lot so we’re going to add a row of trees around a bunch of smaller lots, ultimately making the footprint three times as large.”
It’s almost impressive they managed to come up with a design worse than an asphalt ocean.
These parking lots are a good idea, of they were 1/10th the size and located around metro stops away from the stadium.
Hope those people parked half a mile away are ready for a nice hike!
Imagine being late to work
not many people know this, but NSA stands for No Spaces Available
I imagine some of these drivers are the kinds of people who will literally use their car to drive a block or move from one mini-mall shop to another. Palpatine.png
Driving my car to get to the store one block over, spend 20 minutes looking for a spot and finally finding one 12 blocks away
success
Stadium Crab is the final boss of Urban Planning
Feel like pure shit just want her back
I can’t be the only one to see it……
Georgia O’Keefe-ass urban planning
“Mom, can we have green spaces?”
'No, we have green space at home!"
The green space at home
The image does make a great infographic about how inefficient cars are at using space though
