The move to forgo the addition of parking spaces in these new city HQs and encourage the use of mass transit is also interesting, given the [current state](http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2015\/03\/01\/american_mass_transit_is_dying\/) [of mass transit systems](http:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/bayarea\/article\/BART-shutdown-underscores-aging-system-s-6916061.php) [in America](http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/transportation\/289278-dc-metro-proposes-permanent-earlier-closing-times-on-subway). Will these corporations be kicking in greenbacks for infrastructure\/capacity improvement? Methinks not. <\/p>\n
