A sprawling urban area where parking spots exist in abundance everywhere except within a reasonable walking distance of your destination.
The district operates on the fundamental law of parking physics: availability is inversely proportional to need. The closer you get to where you’re going, the more scarce parking becomes, until you’re circling the block like a vulture searching for prey.
Local landmarks include the Parallel Parking Panic Plaza, where spots are always exactly two inches too small for your car, and the Meter Maze, where payment systems require exact change in currencies that don’t exist.
Time spent circling: Always longer than the appointment itself
