Hi everyone! Welcome to the exciting world of Cities: Skylines II development diaries! Over the next few months, we will take you through everything the game has to offer, ranging from familiar features which have been expanded, to elements brand...
Do most cities in America have parking lots. I feel like every city I go to the parking is hardest thing to find. Walmarts and malls being the exception.
About 20% of the land of major cities tends to be parking, and it’s a big issue because that land could be used for housing. City builders tend to ignore that because it makes cities ugly (in real life, it does too!), but if they actually modeled parking in their simulation, it would have all sorts of ripple effects that would be interesting to plan around.
Parking lots are absolutely everywhere. Some zones just prohibit large ones for historic reasons or otherwise (it’s possible maybe you were in one of those zones)?
Visit Nashville, TN (around Centennial Park), Orlando, FL (around the Mall at Millennia) or Jacksonville, FL (around St. John’s Town Center) and you’ll see what I mean.
If all cims need access to parking that might actually make good public transit much more important for your city if you don’t want it to look like Houston in the seventies
Wow. Now you can finally build realistic American cities ;)

A lot of parking in big American cities is underground, and also too expensive to be worth it. Parking lots everywhere though, in my experience
