    i think that’s the point. it’s public like a highway is and yet we have another case of needing to “add another lane” because cars are a stupid use of space in our communities.

    obviously, the “extra lane” here is more parking.

      I read you but, duude, that analogy is a stretch. I mean I see the connection you are trying to make but… naaaa man. Highway != parking.

      We have 2 groups here bickering over public parking spaces. The residents want the spots for their convenience, and visitors want them to support those local businesses.

      The problem as described is maximum utilization. Stepping back, the residents have the same opportunities as drivers to utilize public transport or walk.

      When I lived in an apartment on the outskirts of town because that’s what I could afford, I parked off property, 3 blocks away. It sucked, but sometimes that’s life.

      Also, a yoga studio holds what, 25-30? I mean dang, this joint be popping something fierce if it brings the neighborhood to its knees.

        nah, it’s the same.

        cars are an inefficient use of space (or induce what you’re calling maximum utilization): when on highway or parking

        if cars weren’t an inefficient use of this communities resources, there would be enough resources(space) for both yogis and residents
