> I have nothing against car drivers personally. But the reality is that they need dedicated spaces to do their thing, otherwise they damage the public infrastructure that everyone else uses. Given the ... personalities of the typical driver, that public infrastructure will also usually get populated with tire marks and car fluids. Sorry but the reality is lots of activities damage public infrastructure, and are asymmetrical in funding. Skaters do less damage than cars when used for transportation, and when given dedicated space for street and vert skating require fewer resources for entertainment (think compared to a race track).
