...they would be correct. We have way too much of it.

The lack of parking is the number one complaint I hear from folks who say they don't go downtown. I'd argue that these people only make it downtown on busy nights during special events and perhaps aren't thrilled to park a few blocks away from their destination. Yes, parking gets tight on busy nights, but otherwise a majority of this land sits paved, striped and unused. Here is a map of Bricktown with all the parking highlighted in red. Parking takes up almost half the available space! I'm working on a similar map of greater downtown that I'll post later.
