    “WHO'S READY TO GET RADICALIZED BY A BOOK ABOUT PARKING? This legitimately-entertaining banger will change the way you think about urban/suburban/small-town community, city planning, transportation, income inequality, organized crime and, oh yeah, parking. I read this a couple of years ago and still think about (and use!) things I learned from it every day. See you on the other side.”
