Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
More like people being called out for blocking roads because there's more of them. If you can't park in a space, park somewhere else.
If parking is difficult as a result, buy a smaller car or accept you're often going to walk further.
The average size of car has risen. That's not automatically something we have to accommodate. The people who bought larger cars always used to live with the consequences and should continue to.
There's the sanctimonious wankery I was looking for.
From someone defending big cars because some of them are old and doesn't understand the simple problem is they're becoming more common.
Look up "tragedy of the commons"
Do you not see how it applies?
This from someone willfully ignoring these people pay their share of property and fuel.taxes that pay for all this, in many cases much more tax than people complaining
If they literally take up more space than everyone else, then they're not paying their fair share unless we charge them more for parking.
It doesn't matter how much you pay for other things. Smokers and drinkers pay more tax on a relative scale, they don't get to take up more space on an airplane unless they buy another seat.
Human rights commission says different, motorcycles aren't charged less.
Motorcycles are charged less.
Human rights don't apply to parking.
And I'd be interested if the Human Rights were ruling against oversized passengers on airlines being charged extra for taking up more space.
Now you're just lying and being purposefully obtuse . Half the time the parking pricks fine bikers for sharing a spot.
I'm not lying at all.
Motorcycles pay the same at the meter so
Sorry you live in a silly place. Doesn't change the argument.
Yeah, you like that logical rebuttal of your bullshit, huh? Take it.
You can state irrelevant facts only true for a city or two if you like. You just end up wrong.
Having a hard time finding reasons your argument doesn't stand, huh? Lying about parking meters isn't really helping your case. Like wtf does that? Everyone knows how they work...except people who don't pay any fuel tax or parking fees at all.
I've got nothing to rebut from you.
I've stated my case simply and you can't find a relevant rebuttal.
I don't think you understand, different places have different prices for parking. Where I live bikes get charged less.
You've done nothing of the sort, also you're lying, again.
It's quite simple. Don't take up more space than provided.
If you want more space, park somewhere else.
You'll quickly find out how little people care about a minority of people with stupid vehicles, making stupid decisions by buying them, not being able to park conveniently.
Those people can take their business and nuisance elsewhere and the town will probably be better off as a result.
Your ride is a pedal bike, ain't it?
