    More like people being called out for blocking roads because there’s more of them. If you can’t park in a space, park somewhere else.

    If parking is difficult as a result, buy a smaller car or accept you’re often going to walk further.

    The average size of car has risen. That’s not automatically something we have to accommodate. The people who bought larger cars always used to live with the consequences and should continue to.

        From someone defending big cars because some of them are old and doesn’t understand the simple problem is they’re becoming more common.

        Look up “tragedy of the commons”

        Do you not see how it applies?

            If they literally take up more space than everyone else, then they’re not paying their fair share unless we charge them more for parking.

            It doesn’t matter how much you pay for other things. Smokers and drinkers pay more tax on a relative scale, they don’t get to take up more space on an airplane unless they buy another seat.
