{"replyTo":"","text":"The number $2.65 billion comes from the cost of constructing a 15 by 75 foot concrete parking space at $7 a square, which it what they can cost. Why concrete? Because concrete, although the most expensive up front it is much cheaper in the long run maintenance wise and is more durable. If these spaces every became neglected by the government maintenance wise they would still be there for a long while for us to use. ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"That’s is what a subsidie is. It’s a common practice where the government provides funding to a particular industry to increase production or drive down costs of a particular commodity. In this instance it would be to increase production of parking spaces. \nBesides that I not sure what else you could be asking. ","replyToPid":419303}

","text":"It’s gonna be a few decades before that rolls around.  For now we need a solution for human drivers. The main problem with team driving is there are only so many shippers and receivers that are 24-7 which limits how much we are able to do that as an industry as a whole. ","replyToPid":419507}
