Chekpeds has a long been on record advocating for providing affordable housing instead of parking… The city has currently close to 88 millions of sqft of land used for parking lots. This could generate 585,000 affordable apartments.
Now the Yankee Stadium may be converted in just such a way and point the city toward the proper policy: it is more important to park people than cars. City to the rescue of Yankee Stadium garage fiasco; Lots could make way for affordable housing.
