u/hannibalbaracka is on a weird anti-parking crusade

https://old.reddit.com/user/hannibalbaracka

He/She/It has been going around spamming city subreddits with what % of their downtown is dedicated to parking

Not too sure what to make of it. Bot? Autistim? Carphobia?

They obviously spam info from https://parkingreform.org/, which is obviously anti-parking lots.

The Parking Reform Network educates the public about the impact of parking policy on climate change, equity, housing, and traffic. In partnership with allied organizations, we accelerate the adoption of critical parking reforms through research, coalition-building, and direct advocacy.

Blah blah standard DEI NGO more bikes and buses and less cars

These threads have the most impressions

The website sucks and you have to click the dropdown to select your city. You can't link it per-city. OP should of at least added a screenshot of each city but I think they were too busy going to each city subreddit as quickly as possible in order to get :upsoren: to do so

What are you insinuating? Because it sounds like you’re trying to convince people they can’t park in Columbus which is a fat fricking lie

They just think that if they can inconvenience you enough you'll stop driving and either ride a bike like a child or take the bus like a poor.

Don’t worry. If we cripple various city’s downtown economies then city councils will be forced to listen to our demands and implement them overnight!

I've noticed a huge uptick in r-slurs in my city subreddit that think the solution to all our cities problems is to get rid of all cars. Literally every problem is due to it. Housing through the roof? It's cause cars take up too much space to build it. Crime? People are poor cause there isn't enough public transportation to the good jobs from their neighborhoods due to infrastructure for cars, causing them to have to rob or steal to live (forgetting that we have decent public transport that no one currently uses). Insane levels of hate and severely misunderstanding the cities problems.

I'd guess this behavior is another outcrop of that

Very true. Both types of people who shouldn't be allowed to post thier opinions on the internet

Only land owners should be allowed to post online, and that's if they pass an IQ test.

Funny how they scream induced demand every time there's talk of infrastructure expansion and in the same breath deny that legalized drugs induces demand for junkies.

Just your typical specific social issue that zoomers and cyclecel millennials fixate on. To these people "I would like more public transport, but I enjoy having a personal vehicle" is not a reasonable take, the only solution is total carcide; and for some reason it had a huge boom in popularity in early 2022 :hmm:

City prices skyrocket

Quit paying rent, move to less expensive suburbs, own a home and build equity, and commute

It is kinda nuts how much space is dedicated to parking. Would be nice if we could clean it up somehow.

I agree. There isn’t nearly enough parking space. We could start by getting rid of some of these useless trees.

I thought most parking in city core areas now are multilevel underground garages now so most of the space is not only used for parking right? Or does the maps only count the parking lot fields.

Edit: just read their methodology :marseybrainlet: Looks like they are counting surface parking only but IMO most developers would probably like that land to be another condo or something so I'm sure there more than just big car at play at a lot of those locations
