"Free" parking is direct subsidy to the minority of New Yorkers who own cars, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars per year. It's time we get our money : newyorkcity

I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

How much do you think it'd cost to install parking meters in NYC?
From the raw cost of the meters, to paying Union workers to install them, to maintenance and upkeep, to the infrastructure needed to power them, to the constant theft and vandalism, to enforcement?
You can't rely on an easy-to-install corner kiosk because that expects someone to have a cell phone and credit card -- which is racist.
These same redditors would be bitching if they got a parking ticket because CAPITALISM says I have to pay $50 because I parked my Corolla here five minutes too long! It has to be SOMEWHERE, I can't just bring it inside with me!

There's already parking meters everywhere in nyc. They're little kiosks you get a ticket for your window

In current year it would make more sense to sell monthly/yearly parking permits at the DMV. They wouldn't be able to charge double for the prime locations but it'd be way cheaper and easy to enforce.

Sell the land to the highest bidder and suddenly none of that is a problem.
