Doesn't everyone love parking?

In "Public Parking", people take guided tours of cities with historic sites of public parking as it relates to "the more general ideology of utopian capitalism." Basically this project is about teaching people how parking affects us and the cities we will in and how parking has changed and how is continues to change as society grows and times change. On their website they discuss that currently they are "looking at the disappearance of surface parking lots" that is happening all over the country, not just in certain areas. Tours have been given in Brooklyn, NY., Chicago, IL., and Hollywood, CA., for example.

I find this project really fascinating because it explores something people often take for granted. It also is a nice mix of media and a public physical attraction. By using a physical tour and putting it on the web, it can read twice the audience. The idea is also really cool. With so many people driving on the roads these days, public parking is such a huge issue. I never would have thought that parking would evolve, but it certainly has and continues to.
