It's abuse because in suburbs the parking is provided at the expense of the property owner, intended for the benefit of those using the property.
Neither I nor Walmart would be pleased to have empty cars showing up to park on our property.
- jstanley 8y agoMaybe we're thinking of different things. I had in mind just the side of a road that doesn't have parking restrictions. Anybody is allowed to park there. Perhaps you are talking about a free car park outside a supermarket or similar? In which case, yeah, fair enough, that would be abusing the free parking.
- tropo 8y agoIt's still an issue for the road owner, which will generally be a town. The town pays for that road surface, with the expectation that it will be mostly used by those with some other purpose for being in the town. It's a bit like the complaints about Waze sending cars down minor little suburban streets. The town hadn't intended to be paying for the transportation infrastructure of a nearby major city.
