Renting Space on GottaPark

Wednesday July 16, 2008
Does a service like GottaPark encourage more driving in San Francisco? I've heard that argument, but it doesn't necessarily sway me. Unless you absolutely have to drive, why would you even consider paying 50 or 100 bucks (in some cases) to lease someone's driveway? That said, if you're driving anyway, GottaPark offers an alternative to circling the block. Or hitching rides because you don't want to lose your spot.

Here's how it works. If you need a place to park at a specific time, plug those variables into the GottaPark search form and it will render a list of commercial and residential spots available for the buying. If you have a spot, a driveway, a garage -- you're free to post the availability for others to rent.

Check it out in person: GottaPark.com.
