I’ll just add that there are two guilty parties in double parking: the person who does it, and the municipality which failed to provide adequate parking infrastructure to the town.
That would be favoring rich people, though.
That’s why I object to these policies:
They’re middle class and up people advocating that other people bear the burden for what they want done — often times, burdening the more productive members of society who perform critical jobs. If you actually thought it was important, you’d take unilateral action… instead of making “tragedy of the commons” excuses and demanding authoritarian impositions on lower classes.
That kind of entitlement by the bourgeoise is how we ended up with the worst governments in human history — and I’m sad to see us repeating it.
Reducing car dependence is a good thing for the poor.
Parking costs a lot. It should not be subsidized.
