East Wing Parking Area

Maybe they’ll run out of money for the ballroom project and use what the was East Wing as a surface parking lot. Asphalt is relatively cheap, or they could just leave it as pulverized concrete to be extra frugal. Get some used telephone polls and surplus high-pressure sodium lights, string it up with residential wire between the polls, and you’re set. Good enough for some of the OGS lots. It would make a lot of White House staffers happy to have close parking to their office.

I am sure White House staff wouldn’t mind it being called the Epstein Memorial Parking Area, as long as they can park there for a reasonable rate, and there isn’t a lot of shredded rebar chunks left in the gravel to give them flat tires. I’m sure parking in Downtown DC is both expensive an inconvenient, unless of course you have a reserved space in a garage.

If there is anything Americans care about it’s parking. That and plastic, and having enough fat, sugar, salt and artificial colors added to their foods. Americans loathe such things, but actually love it in secret and will vote for such things, even if they wouldn’t be caught dead advocating for more parking, plastic, or junk food.
