I don’t take the future as a very distant thing, but I believe that the sharing economy will be very developed. I am thinking about shared parking spaces in the future. According to my research, due to the rapid development of the city，It is difficult to find a parking space in the city, and parking is becoming more and more difficult. If parking spaces can be shared in the future, more private garage owners can share their parking spaces to solve the shortage of parking spaces in cities.
Take San Francisco for example. Transportation can be an inconvenience, especially since public transportation is complex and parking is at a premium. There are 471,388 registered vehicles in San Francisco alone, but only 441,541 public parking spaces available. And these numbers don’t include commuters or tourists who come to the city every day. On average, meters cost $0.25 for only 8 minutes – making the city over $88 million in 2013 from parking citations alone. San Francisco was recently rated the number three worst city to find parking in the United States – from both a supply meets demand and cost perspective.
Sharing parking spaces is my ideal solution, but there are actually many problems. Such us safety and privacy issue. There are two reasons to restrict it, community property and community owners. The core task of most properties is to ensure the safety of the community, but there are constant strangers driving in and out of strange vehicles, how do we ensure the safety of the community? Among the types of rented parking spaces, there is no fixed parking space and there is no possibility of sharing, and the fixed parking space also involves a legal issue, that is, whether the user as the lessee has the right to sublet. If there is no right to sublet but subletting occurs, there will be legal risks.
