    You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.

    There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.

    Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for “future tall building site”, while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.
