I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.

edit: This is Seaworld San Diego, California

    Here’s something I don’t understand about these county-devouring parking lots: why are they all one level? Is it more than twice as expensive to build and maintain even a two-level parking structure and save half the footprint?

      Cars constantly emit toxic fumes whenever they’re running. If you try to enclose a parking lot you need some extremely expensive and power-intensive ventilation. Maybe that’ll change as electric cars become more common.
