Parking in San Francisco is tough enough. But the operators of the Symphony Towers on Van Ness Avenue are using a relatively new technology called "puzzle parking" to increase the available number of spaces.
A special elevator stacks cars, helping the garage offer 90 spaces in a garage that would ordinarily offer 30. A driver enters their car into a special elevator that will slide their car into an empty space. Retrieving the car takes 60 seconds or less. Only six garages in the entire U.S. offer "puzzle parking."
