Although most personal travel is done by train and subway, everyone has a car. Car parking is a perennial problem with no on street parking at all. This is a car parking lot. The building is about two and a half times as wide as a car. Inside the cars drive onto a vertical conveyor which dangles thirty or forty cars in a two sided elevator. The cars are dispensed much like clothes at a dry cleaners. For some reason it is completely unacceptable to back into the street. In front of every one of these parking lots is a turntable (just barely visible here). The car backs off the elevator system and is spun around before driving off into the street. |
