Land is expensive. No one’s making it any more.And how many times have we all criticised the drivers of vehicles who have 'selfishly' parked across two parking spaces ?
Cost Cutting, Value Engineering, Maximising Profit is the culprit in every case, in the pursuit of filthy lucre, 2.5m x 5m just isn't big enough to be comfortable and everyone knows this from the architects to the end users but it is arguably big enough for the average sized family car in the UK, and no business is going to give away more than they have to, space is a costly premium for developers and retailers and given the choice would opt for more retail space over 'Free Parking' every day.
Besides, anyone who doesn’t maximise profit (however one defines it, not just cash) leaves the door open for the next competitor...
