> The idea that you are supposed to give up an entire room of your house just to park a car is weird to me. Keeping one's possessions on one's own property, I mean can you imagine? I have to give up an entire room in my house to park my washer and dryer, another to park my desk and chair for my home office, another to park my bed...where does it end? It's completely ridiculous. /s The idea that the public should give someone land to park their car round-the-clock is equally weird. If the car owner is paying, it's a different story of course. I do agree with you that the number of cars illegally parked in a neighborhood is a reflection on the quality and frequency of public transit.
