Editor,

Burlingame has a parking problem. It is not unusual for customers and workers to complain that there’s not sufficient parking in a busy downtown business district. But now our problem is getting worse.

Until municipalities finally get it, these antiquated 20th Century parking garages will continue to be built. Over 50% of the floor and vertical space is for 'driving' within that 20th Century parking structure

Many of the other countries of the world have embraced automated parking structures for DECADES.

Automated parking has vehicles stored within inches of each other. Both horizontally and vertically. Therefore, thieves can NOT gain access to the vehicle interior...unless they break glass.

Downtown's would only need "ONE" large parking structure that would be many times SMALLER than current 20th Century architectures.

Plus, there is no need for open sides for control & safety of exhaust & breathable air. There will be NO ONE in that portion of the parking structure.

Below ground and at ground level can be retail, office, etc. to apartments
