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

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!
