Avalon Fort Greene, a new 42-story luxury building near downtown Brooklyn's mass-transit hub, devotes two stories and 256 parking spaces to one of its most elusive residents: the automobile.
The building is well-occupied, but the garage is half-empty. The same is true down the street at 80 DeKalb Ave. Nearly all of the building's 365 apartments are filled, but only half of its 126 parking spaces are leased.

This is no-brainer. They want to fill the parking garages, lower the price of parking. In the city they can get away with $600 a month and up because of the demand and limited space. But in the outer boroughs they need to lower the price and lease space at arenas and the like to local residents at prices they can afford. I don't think the folks who'd get a car if parking were cheaper would be enough to substantially affect traffic or pollution. Most New Yorkers would still take mass transit most of the time.
