I find it funny how we all think a street parking spot is a right because we pay a basically nominal amount. Space savers, street cleaning, events etc. all elicit indignation. The street is a public shared space. Why do cars get to own it? You want to not get towed and have a car in a dense city? Park off street.

I’m all for getting cars off the street but drivers really shouldn’t have to put up with incorrect, arbitrary municipal punishment like getting towed when you were in the clear (even if this particular case may or may not be that).

Lmao you're saying the street is a public shared space (true) and also defending space savers? Gtfo

I’m not defending them, just highlighting them as part of the angst. I think they’re ridiculous too.

What is street parking then? So you own street parking? Can I place my own random metal box there, containing a few hoodies, empty Dunks, and gallons of gasoline? I’m happy to for the city to rent you municipal space but let’s do it at market rent per sq ft. Let’s use capitalism to price it. Or is that too “DSA” for you?

Technically you can if you have the correct permits. What you put inside your moving pod is up to you. I wonder if we were in the Wild West that you folks would have the same obsession over hitching posts and watering troughs.
