Consider This from NPR - How Parking Explains Everything

No matter how you measure it, there is a lot of parking in the U.S. According to some estimates there are as many as six parking spaces for every car. Put another way, America devotes more square footage to storing cars than housing people.

Henry Grabar walks through how we got here, and what Americans have sacrificed on the altar of parking. From affordable housing to walkable neighborhoods to untold hours spent circling the block, hunting for a free spot.

His new book is Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Lost Debate - Is Unbiased News Possible?

Ravi is joined by Tangle’s Isaac Saul and Ground News’ Harleen Kaur for a conversation about media bias and polarization. From coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse case to the Pizzagate conspiracy, they discuss how different wings of mainstream and alternative media radicalize each other – and how each of their organizations has worked to stay as objective as possible while keeping their audiences engaged. They also provide tips and tools for listeners interested in broadening their media diets and seeking alternative perspectives. 


Isaac is the founder of Tangle, the widely regarded non-partisan newsletter that summarizes the best arguments from the left and right on the news of the day. 


Harleen is the co-founder and chief executive of Ground News, a news comparison platform that presents how various media outlets report on the same stories across the political spectrum.
