    So you just warped the title into whatever sensationalized garbage you wanted. The Streets Blog headline actually reads:

    New UCLA Report Looks into the High Cost to Build Parking

    And the UCLA Center for Parking Policy Report is titled:

    No Such Thing as Free Parking: Construction Costs in 17 U.S. Cities

    It’s grossly disrespectful to overeditorialize a report like this that probably had hundreds of hours of work put into it; you’re actively misrepresenting that work and putting words in the author’s mouth. If you’re going to say “study finds”, then you should say what the study finds according to the author(s) who actually painstakingly analyzed the data. If not, then it’s “I read this study [doubt] and drew these conclusions about it”.
