My city bought out some succesful busniesses downtown to demolish their buildings and build a new stadium with surface level parking for all the people who live outside of the city to drive to. Can we at least get a parking garage instead of surface level so we dont have to demolish businesses and homes for the benefits of suburban and rural sports fans?

Unfortunately the reality often is that it's cheaper to buy more land and demolish buildings that get in the way than it is to build tall to solve for that. And that prestige project has to be cheap so that it can get out the door in this local politicians election cycle. Now if people could be held accountable for really bad choices they made a long time ago...

just don't have parking

I know right? But that makes sense to do and most places have politicians that want their prestige projects where it suits them and those usually don't make too much sense. Besides that good public transport solutions are boring. That huge parking space looks way more impressive from above...
