I mean, it is portland, and they will do it wrong no matter what, but still; if you expect the people we've been mass producing to handle this well going forward, I've got bad news for you.

- freddie_mercury 2y agoIf a city offers land for free, what incentive is there to pay for building parking on your property? Free is always going to outcompete non-free. The answer is to get rid of free on street parking.
