Interesting question.<\/p>\n
But why was I thinking this?<\/p>\n
Driving around – I thought it was neat how all roads are virtually flat and smoothen out the bumps.<\/p>\n
Then I was like, ok same with car parks. \u00a0But what about car parking buildings?<\/p>\n
Quick calculations (using the old 1, 2, square root 3) we can find if we elevate a 4m car park 30 degreees, we can accommodate a flat surface area saving of 15%.<\/p>\n
That is, if you elevated every car park in a building, you would have 15% more room for extra car parks.<\/p>\n
So why haven’t they done it?<\/p>\n
From a cost perspective<\/p>\n
Clearly there are some issues that need to be investigated…such as safety, consumer reaction, cost of setting up.<\/p>\n
