Public parks should have less parking to discourage driving - eviltoast

This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like public parks should have less parking or smaller parking lots. Having a big lot destroys the very nature people are coming to enjoy. I’ve also noticed it leads to people just driving to the park and not even getting out of their cars. I’ve seen so many people just eating lunch in their cars by themselves, it’s so sad.

    As someone that has eaten my lunch in my car at a park…it is way more enjoyable than Walmart. Sometimes just that little amount of respite is all people can afford or have time to enjoy.

        IDK who you’re talking about “they.” Plenty of folks here drive motor vehicles. This community is a place to share and discuss alternatives to using cars as the only means of transportation. Sometimes we get cheeky and post memes about outrageous features of “car culture,” but the fact of the matter is we’re focused on other ways of getting around.

            Then why did you join if not to jerk furiously as you suck on your active tailpipe? It’s going to bring you closer to your car just like you want. Why not join autosexual instead? Why not join communities you agree with?

                What are you even on about? You need a doctor.

                Wanting equitable transportation options is odd but dedicating your life to stalking any community that wants to discuss that then treating anybody without 6 cars in the driveway as a Saturday morning cartoon villain isn’t?

                You literally have mental health problems, please seek help.

              Here they are on display, with their labels of hatred. Stop spreading hate. Also that was unnecessarily sexual imagery to add to your hate-labels, which makes you sound gross to sane people.

        Ironically this is the most divisive, us vs. them comment in this thread. Otherwise it’s all polite discussion, even among people who disagree. You are the one bringing the negativity and hate to the community.
