Parking minimums are systematic oppression by car lobbyists against all others forms of transport. Yeah I said it. - eviltoast

“It’s not like the government is forcing you to buy a car!”

If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    Yeah. It takes some real mental gymnastics to think that getting rid of parking minimums, getting rid of a harmful government regulation, increasing freedom, is a bad thing.

      @Olgratin_Magmatoe @kurwa I wouldn’t go that far. Just because every step is wrong, doesn’t make the thought process that weird.

      I’m saying we should have compassion for their misunderstanding. The conclusion is wrong, but the path to get there isn’t that hard. Particularly when you’ve been raised in that paradigm (or raised watching media that shows it as the ideal).
