That's wonderful! I was amazed at how green and alive everything was when I went through Michigan, despite getting so dark in the winter.
I agree towns could put in more park space, but they could also put in more seating for restaurants, shops or water features, public service expansions, warehouses, housing, and so on. A good city will split between them, and common green spaces will show up. I'm curious what the range of ratios look like (especially over time).
And my city has a bunch of parking lots scattered aroun town, so it's not like they need the street parking, PLUS, this is MAGA country so everyone is driving massive trucks that can't parallel park anyway. But if you threaten to take away a parking space, people freak out. But people freak out whenever you propptany change, so might as well do something that has been shown to improve everyone's quality of life.
