I don't understand why it isn't more commonplace for businesses and malls, etc. to build underground parking facilities.
As you said, Ram, the parking garage at Hamad? Already filled, from day one -- and STILL there are not enough spaces for people going to see the doctor. And this is for the ONE public hospital in the entire country!!
I fully understand that land might be at a premium here, but it's like no thought goes into figuring out how much parking there should be for a development. Villagio's lot is regularly filled to capacity on weekends -- and they're still expanding shops/theaters there so it'll only get worse.
What is so hard about PLANNING FOR GROWTH!?!? Better to over-estimate than under-estimate.
