Still CSV is 2x smaller than GPKG with this kind of data. And CSV.gz is 7x smaller.

That's why I'm working on the GeoParquet spec [0]! It gives you both compression-by-default and super fast reads and writes! So it's usually as small as gzipped CSV, if not smaller, while being faster to read and write than GeoPackage.

Try using `GeoDataFrame.to_parquet` and `GeoPandas.read_parquet`
