Downtown San Francisco is densely populated, but with lightly occupied industrial and office space rather than residential buildings.
Downtown San Francisco has, infamously, lagged behind many of its peers in recovering from the most devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, according to a new study, it leads other downtowns in one key characteristic.
"A low parking score means the city devotes much less land in its central neighborhoods to parking than the average," Thomas Carpenito, who created the Parking Reform Network's map of downtown parking, wrote in explaining the scores. Carpenito wrote that a city's walkability"decreases significantly with more parking in the central city," leaving little space"for anything else" while"making housing more expensive, less dense" and"farther apart."
