Parking lots and parking buildings are a massive waste of space and make cities worse, amirite?

Uhh duh?

I've had these conversations with people in real life and they've always pushed back on it, stating it's necessity. I guess responses depend on each country's culture on cars.

Where would teenagers have sex and do drugs?

Malls, theatres, alley ways, parks. Use your imagination.

Don't be bringing your efficient mass transit into the conversation.

I suppose that is the advantage of having a much higher population density

it's comparable, if you exclude like alaska wyoming etc etc, and the densest american cities are denser than european ones. the way America is built is a choice.

Just move to a walkable city. Some people like to live that way, me included, to each their own.

It was awesome to live a 1 minute walk from s grocery store. Id walk there 3 times in a single day some times.

"If we invested in public transit" OPs are truly a different breed.

Either that or have even more cars lining the sides of roads. Less parking space will not dissuade people from driving. Would cause more problems than it solves.

Agreed, street parking should be banned.

That's why I brought about effective public transit and overall public safety. If people can get to places in under 15 minutes thru public transport, I bet no one would ever choose to sit in traffic for hours, and there won't be a need for buildings solely for cars.

I think when they are needed for certain businesses the parking garage should be built down in a hole and not take up space on the surface

Is it just me, or does anyone else like to venture out of their immediate neighborhoods? I don't have a problem with public transportation, but most of the time taking metro to where I want to go would take twice as much time. Plus you can't bring stuff with you. How about visiting places an hour away? forget it. Most people, even city dwellers, don't want to live in a little boxed area. Get over the idea that we are just going to all ditch our cars.
