>>1897728Well as an example, I'm from Tampa, FL. Almost every surface parking lot is owned by one company who is essentially land-banking and holding the city's development back by DECADES.
Pic rel is a good example: Every lot circled in red is a surface parking lot in downtown Tampa. Outside of downtown, it's even worse.
They're landbanking and holding development of the city back, causing even more sprawl and even more car dependency.
