Reply to comment by forhisglory85 in Tired of parking placard abuse? The DOT is holding a public hearing on some new rules that target parking placard abuse in loading zones on the 7th, and there aren't nearly enough comments.

Exactly. America loves the education and enforcement model when it comes to policing vehicles, but that's exactly why most drivers blatantly ignore the rules. There are major cities all over the world that are comparable to NYC that don't have our issues, and that's cause NYC housing is so unaffordable, the road design encourages illegal parking/poor driving, and our public transit, bike infrastructure, and walking infrastructure is severely lacking.

Sure, compared to the rest of the US we're great but that's just cause the US sucks at public infrastructure.
