Wow! I want to live there - for parking anyway. Here in Flagstaff I can do
that about 2/3 of the time (the regular parking lot, that is) while many
times it is hard to find a parking spot at all.

Well, you do have to choose an appropriate time to shop.
Parking lots in Austin are probably the worst designed in the country.
A lot of big box stores have only *one* entrance/exit. Also, many lots
do not offer access to neighboring lots.
Figures when you have a city council more concerned with artsy-fartsy
aesthetics over functionality...

I had a woman driver cut me off one day. I had to return home to have my
wife repair the damage to the icing on the cake (it wasn't pretty either).
