- I don't know how to break this to you but you are not a Subaru and you don't own the street in front of your house.
- The fact that we make public spaces sterile and miserable for families and children is a choice based on our country's core value of hating poor people.This video of “public transit in Finland” seems to be blowing people’s mind. Via joshlevine485.
- Cities are shit holes, that's why I only go there for nice dinners and events.
Replying to @ohjamesgotjokes and @JGittoWe aren’t “afraid”. Most cities are shit holes and we only go there for nice dinners/events. Learn the difference. - Imagine not parking it on the sidewalk.Imagine waking up to this every morning. I’m like a kid on Christmas Day every day! Fkn love the Cybertruck
- Instead of going into debt so I can daily drive a pickup truck in the city, I occasionally pay $20 to rent a trailer for the day.
- Replying to @cyclesixmileWe were parked there, on the public street not blocking a driveway or fire hydrant, for two hours and discovered the note as we were leaving. Some of you need to relax. And remember that you don't own the street in front of your house.
- I wish I was smart enough to finance a pickup truck for $700 per month so I didn't have to pay $20 to rent a trailer two or three times per year.
- Replying to @GreytaitaiIn this case the Subaru driver was still able to park directly in front of their house (as mentioned in the note). They also could have parked in their private driveway leading up to their private garage.
- I love cars so much I wish they were much larger and carried like 50 people and went on a set route every few minutes.
- Replying to @theSprocket_AltI would simply not live in that neighborhood.
- Counterpoint: Trader Joe's parking lots are good because they are right sized. The ideal parking lot is always full, always has people coming and going, and induces no further demand.There is no parking lot on earth worse than a Trader Joe’s parking lot. I’ll die on this hill.
- Replying to @roqueadeleonBecause we don't live in that neighborhood. I park in my driveway when I'm at my house.
- Replying to @IanGriffThey have a privately owned driveway and garage. The street is public.
