"People won't shop at Pike Place Market if they have to walk more than a block from their car." Dude, the whole market fits in the footprint of Costco.

Applying this to Seattle, that would be something on the order of 120,000 parking spaces.
“By 2030, Paris will have removed 60,000 parking spaces and replaced them with trees. That’s one of the goals outlined in the French capital’s new 2024-2030 Climate Plan, which was released last week and will soon be voted on by the Council of Paris.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Paris to Replace Parking Spaces With Trees
The city’s new climate plan promises to drop speed limits, repurpose traffic lanes, remove 60,000 parking spots and create urban “oases” to combat extreme heat.

You might not know this but your local library probably has an app where you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks, for free! Some have apps that let you borrow digital comics too.
My library subscribes to Borrowbox and it's great, I constantly have 2-3 audiobooks on loan.
