  Also the seasonal bike lanes open, and there are always people parked there.

  Somebody’s got to pay to refill the potholes.

  As a rule our car related fines are all far too low.

  Look, about 3 years ago a ticket for parking on the wrong side of the street during street cleaning day was 65 bucks, including fees. It’s gone up to over a hundred. If this happened to anything else even here peopel would be crying bloody murder but because cars are the new sin tax people can be as dismissive about the government soaking drivers without reasonably increasing transit offerings they want. All stick, no carrot, we’re all out of ideas. Yeah yeah cars are destroying the world, wasted urban space used as free parking spaces could house the homeless, urban space is worth 10k a square foot, each bus takes 50 cars off the road, cars are murder machines and everyone who drives them is an incipient homicidal maniac. I’ve seen people say all these things here and worse, and I get it. Let me at least have my /s.

  Actually, I only thought you were having a dig at me (and some of the others who comment here) for not getting your jokes.

  I wasn’t thinking about cars at all.
