9 x 18. In square feet, that’s 162, smaller than the most micro micro-apartment.
It is the size of a typical parking space. That lowly slice of asphalt has prompted three young architects — Miriam Peterson, Sagi Golan and Nathan Rich, fellows at the Institute for Public Architecture — to come up with what could be an innovative way to ease the housing crisis.

Let people sleep in their cars to kill two birds with one stone. Lots of them are already doing it.
The plan would also give developers the option of paying into a fund to reduce their parking requirement further.
A tax that would allow developers to increase density (and profit) that would no doubt be be misused by the government. Commercial property here is subject to the same terms, the town collects a fee in lieu of the required number of spaces but does not provide municipal parking to make up for the loss. Aside from the fact that the number of required spaces is insufficient to begin with.
