The Ideal Source of Local Public Revenue by Donald C. Shoup
Free or underpriced curb parking creates a classic commons problem. Studies have found that
between 8% and 74% of cars in congested traffic were cruising in search of curb parking, and that the
average time to find a curb space ranged between 3 and 14 min. Cities can eliminate the economic
incentive to cruise by charging market-clearing prices for curb parking spaces. Market-priced curb
parking can yield between 5% and 8% of the total land rent in a city, and in some neighborhoods can
yield more revenue than the property tax.
People, Parking, and Cities by Michael Manville and Donald Shoup
A recent article in Access magazine examines the effects of parking requirements on urban density, and compared
the densities of Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. It shows that off-street parking requirements explain
much of the difference in the density of these cities. It concludes that the simplest and most productive reform of
American zoning would be to declare that all existing off-street parking requirements are maximums rather than minimums.
