PARK(ing) Day

How much space is dedicated to automobiles in SF? USA? The world? (that last one was scary)

Park(ing) Day was started in 2005 and is movement that tries to demonstrate the balance between parking and open space. In a way, it is trying to reclaim the space reserved for cars, and relay that back to the people in the form of a park/open/public space. So on September 19th, people/nonprofits/companies did just that.
