Parking
"Every driver feels they deserve “rockstar” parking, ideally right at their destination, secure and free – and they’re aggrieved if they can’t have it. Behind the wheel, we assume a universal impatience, intolerance and entitlement. It simmers above the unspoken anxiety of not being able to park."
"Since the 1950s, cities have been defined by their valiant efforts to cater to these base instincts. We have paved them with carparks, relinquishing wetlands, parklands and foreshores. We have foregone housing and public amenities, all to ensure optimal storage of high-emissions private property."
'The great paradox is that while parking is both objectively abundant and an exorbitant tax on everyone, no driver is satisfied. So we build more parking, and download more apps, and our cities become less liveable."

From #ClimateTown
"I'm aware you didn't have 'watch a punishingly long video about parking' on your agenda today, but what parking law lacks in excitement, it makes up for in being so blunt-force head trauma stupid, that once you learn about it, you won't be able to unsee the damage it's done."

I went from reading #Oppenheimer's biography to #Nomadland -- about poor itinerant older folks in the US who live in their cars -- and somehow they both feel relatable.
"The last place in America that's free is a parking space."

Every discussion of cycling ends up with motorists yelling about "fairness." #FreeParking is a subsidy; parking requirements are an unfunded mandate.

One wonders about the logic behind municipal governments that have minimal support for active transport projects #bikes and yet falter when discussion occurs about vehicles that park freely on public roads. How much does #freeparking actually cost?

The street I live on doesn't have continuous #sidewalks (because #Vancouver can't afford nice things), it has #FreeParking on both sides, there's enough space for one car to pass and a bit of extra room. Similar to the picture.
People walk on the road. Some drivers slow down when passing, but most maintain the speed.
It's terrifying. I got used to it when biking, but sharing the road with vehicles when #walking is a whole new thing. What should I do, tAkE tHe LanE? Ridiculous.

@danwentzel *nodds* and even #car users benefit from #PublicTransport and #Cycling #Infrastructure as @notjustbikes showcased.
As a car driver from neighbouring #Germany [#NRW] I can confirm that the #Netherlands really have by far the best infrastructure - even if that means no #FreeParking in city centers!

Nothing has prepared me for civic engagement around bike lanes more than playing tower defense games. Sheesh! This one debate on this project began in 2018, and, well, here we are, still fighting off people who care more about #FreeParking than #ClimateChange or #RoadViolence.

There’s something deeply suspicious that suddenly everyone cares about whether or not a nurse can afford to get to work because of #freeParking, not #affordableHousing, or #publicTransport, or better pay, says Dr. Liz Taylor.
“There will be car dependent individuals in need, and we need to find a way to accommodate their needs. But giving everybody free parking in the name of those particular people doesn’t seem efficient,” says @PaulBarter.

“Other state and local leaders alarmed by ‘truck bloat’ would be wise to study the D.C. law, which represents a first-of-its-kind effort to address the negative externalities — or costs borne by others — associated with larger, heavier SUVs and trucks.”

97% of these on-street parking spaces - covering 6% of NYC’s land mass - are free. If each one generated just $2 per day on average, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s massive $2.5B operating deficit would be eliminated.

This is a much better choice than free parking, which is traditionally a "thing" in the lead-up to Christmas. It's a shame it will only be on one Saturday, but it's a step in the right direction and shows a shift in thinking. Other councils should take note.

Potential FoI request for early next year, I think.
With the local council saying there's no free parking this year, doesn't this serve as an ideal opportunity to evaluate the impact of such schemes? I wonder if they have data on the number of people use car parks last year (free parking) which can be compared to usage this year (charged parking).
If data exists, we could compare town centre footfall overall as well.
