Mocking this doesn't make sense. Ten nuns can fit into one van which takes up one parking spot. The van has to go somewhere.
- dudinax 2y agoImagine an eleven-nun nunnery. One nun gets to stay home, or else the nunnery makes special arrangements for the day. Point of the article is that the nunnery should decide for themselves whether to have one parking space or two.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoThis one's hilarious because it's such a non-issue. I refuse to believe there are American cities with enough nunnery construction that parking regulations to address overcrowding has become a priority for local planners. It's probably just the result of someone picking a number for every structure covered in some regulatory definition that happened to include nunneries.

- bombcar 2y agoBoth that one and the gym one are obvious "exceptions with a rough analogue" - the nunnery is allowed less parking than would normally be required because of the assumption of communal living (the same reason one vehicle per household makes more sense than one vehicle per driver when dealing with residential units). And gyms are unlikely to make deeper pools, but longer/wider ones, which would support more customers. And when the regulations were written down, you'd only need one nunnery in development or existing or foreseen to make the exception appear.
