毫不夸张地说，停车死死扼住了美国的咽喉：每年都有惊人数量的美国人因争抢车位而自相残杀，我们平时也会为了停车做出种种荒唐举动，甚至为了抢到一个车位而扭曲自己的职业、社交和财务生活。自汽车诞生以来，我们便陷入了一场西西弗斯式的寻车位苦役，进而让城市变形走样；其结果是，全美大量最具价值的黄金地段如今都被用来停放空车。停车决定了新建筑的构造与老建筑的命运、交通流线以及公共交通的可行性、社区政治乃至市政规划

怪不得我刚听完那期播客，第二天 HN 上就冒出来了！播客的取材来源是 Henry Grabar 写的《被铺平的天堂》（Paved Paradise），看起来挺有意思：https://www.amazon.com/Paved-Paradise-Parking-Explains-World...
That explains why this appeared on HN the day after I'd listened to it! The book "Paved Paradise" by Henry Gubar that was the source of the podcast, looks an interesting read: https://www.amazon.com/Paved-Paradise-Parking-Explains-World...
对于那些不想读《免费停车的高昂代价》（The High Cost of Free Parking）这种大部头的人，不妨读读 Henry Grabar 的《被铺平的天堂》（Paved Paradise）。核心内容差不多，但节奏更紧凑，没有堆砌那么多枯燥的事实和数据，表达的观点却基本一致。
For folks who don't want to read a tome like The High Cost of Free Parking, give Paved Paradise by Henry Grabar a shot. It's a lot of the same content, but punchier with a lot fewer facts and figures making much the same point.
关于这个话题有一本剖析得很透彻的书，叫《被铺平的天堂：停车位如何解释世界》（Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World）。如果你想了解我们在住房成本上出现这么多乱象的根源，强烈推荐一读。https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634461/paved-paradi...
There is a thorough book on this topic, Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World. Highly recommend it if you're interested in the causes of so much of our dysfunction in housing costs. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634461/paved-paradi...
这篇文章里提到的那本书（《被铺平的天堂》）真是让人大开眼界。我快看完了，对这件事完全有了全新的认识。
The book mentioned in this article (Paved Paradise) is eye-opening. I'm nearly done reading it and have a whole new perspective on the matter.
……这是糟糕的规划和法规制定带来的恶果，很久以前就在过度迁就汽车的广泛使用了。《Slate》杂志的专栏作家 Henry Grabar 在去年出版的《被铺平的天堂：停车位如何解释世界》一书中提到了这一点。Grabar 在一次采访中说：“从全国范围来看，停车位的数量显然远远超出了我们的需求。平均每辆车至少对应四个停车位，这意味着……
…this is a result of poor planning and ordinance-making that long ago overcompensated for the wide use of automobiles. Henry Grabar, a staff writer at Slate, mentions this in a book published last year, Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World. ”On a national level, certainly, there’s far more parking than we need,” Grabar said in an interview. “There are at least four parking spaces for every car, meaning that…
我刚读完《被铺平的天堂》以及《免费停车的高昂代价》。现在的趋势似乎在逐渐扭转对司机的这种隐性补贴，首先就是减少以极低价格向他们提供的便利，或者……
I just read Paved Paradise as well as The High Cost of Free Parking. This seems like the current gradual trend towards reversing the hidden subsidy for drivers, first by giving them less affordances at remarkably low prices or…
