And if you&#8217;re not using your driveway or parking space over the weekend, you can rent it out to those who are desperately in need. Simple, right?<\/p>\n<p>Pavemint is\u00a0currently available in the app store, but only to those around the Staples Center. Don&#8217;t worry, though &#8212; \u00a0Pavemint plans to expand to Austin, Portland, San Diego, and San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, this app also helps the environment. Here are a few facts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>30% of city traffic is caused by drivers circling the block looking for parking.<\/li>\n<li>18.6 million parking spaces exist in Los Angeles today and there are only 5.6 million cars.<\/li>\n<li>270 million gallons of gas is wasted every year as a result of inefficient parking in Los Angeles.<\/li>\n<li>4.2 million tons of carbon dioxide is dumped into our air every year because of the way we currently park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-89420\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-09-22 at 12.16.01 PM\" width=\"300\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM.png 398w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM-116x222.png 116w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM-120x230.png 120w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121633\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-22-at-12.16.01-PM-319x610.png 319w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nxx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"If you've ever added 30-45 minutes of \"finding parking\" time to your commute, this app ...","author":422344,"featured_media":89415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[269,185],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121143\/shutterstock_452766970-660x400.jpg","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/22121143\/shutterstock_452766970.jpg","formated_date":"September 22, 2016","category_name":"Tech","category_icon":"https:\/\/d3vodd1ws13xud.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/10113850\/technology-2.svg","author_name":"Monica Chang","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#d662a9","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89400"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/422344"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
