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

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.
