ABC News (NEW YORK) -- For some people, a parking spot is a nightmare and for others it's a status symbol tied to their homes and vehicles. Slate reporter Henry Grabar, who wrote the book "Paved Paradise How Parking Explains the World," however said that that piece of concrete or a spot inside a garage has wide ranging impacts on the environment, health, and even policy. He spoke with ABC News Live about what he found in his research. ABC NEWS LIVE: All right. Right off the top, people are going to say, why did you write a book about parking? Why should it matter to us? HENRY GRABAR: Well, I'm a reporter, so I spent a lot of time looking into stories about housing, about transportation, about the environment, infrastructure, architecture, all these subjects.
