You’d think people who go to yoga would be more flexible.

I think people who go to yoga have their head up their arse.

“And they don’t care, all they care about is that they’re late to their yoga class,” she said.

This is carbrains in a nutshell. They don't care about anything else except where they're going.

Well said, they will happily sacrifice the wellbeing of other people if that buys them just a little bit of convenience to themselves.

This is ~~carbrains~~ fuckcars in a nutshell. They don't care about anything else...

This community should relate and be proud. Maybe this city should invest in public transportation. This is the exact lack of infrastructure you've been fighting for. Believe it or not, street parking is public use and no one is entitled to it in that neighborhood.

Or, you know, create a residential permit section like other neighborhoods.

i think that's the point. it's public like a highway is and yet we have another case of needing to "add another lane" because cars are a stupid use of space in our communities.

obviously, the "extra lane" here is more parking.

I read you but, duude, that analogy is a stretch. I mean I see the connection you are trying to make but.... naaaa man. Highway != parking.

We have 2 groups here bickering over public parking spaces. The residents want the spots for their convenience, and visitors want them to support those local businesses.

The problem as described is maximum utilization. Stepping back, the residents have the same opportunities as drivers to utilize public transport or walk.

When I lived in an apartment on the outskirts of town because that's what I could afford, I parked off property, 3 blocks away. It sucked, but sometimes that's life.

Also, a yoga studio holds what, 25-30? I mean dang, this joint be popping something fierce if it brings the neighborhood to its knees.

[-] lntl@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

nah, it's the same.

cars are an inefficient use of space (or induce what you're calling maximum utilization): when on highway or parking

if cars weren't an inefficient use of this communities resources, there would be enough resources(space) for both yogis and residents
