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

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.

Cars are impractical, walk, bike, use transit. Ice vs Electric is not the right question. Ask yourself do I really need a car or am I just getting one by default?

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?
