With its decentralized urban areas, pollution, and mostly
inadequate public transit systems, today's America pays a heavy
price for its auto dependency. This volume explores one of the more
pressing aspects of the automobile problem--storage--from 1910 to
the end of the World War II, contrasting the reality and perception
of car parking as found in the pages of the popular newspapers and
magazines of that period. From early bans on street parking to
street widening efforts to the introduction of parking lots,
garages, and parking meters, it chronicles attempts to accommodate
the ever-increasing number of cars requiring parking spots. By
failing to effect any meaningful regulations along the way, this
work shows, Americans slowly ceded authority and dominance to the
automobile, to the detriment of contemporary society.
