    Restrictions on where you can park

    Nah fuck that noise. This is how you let them corral you into slums.

    Park where you want. Out front of parliament, the prime minister’s house, on the street out front a billionaires house, wherever. If they don’t like it, them they should fix it.

      Well, I mean, someone’s evil ex shouldn’t park in front of their house. And people should not park for a nap in a handicap spot. And not in the driving portion of a road, not in the breakdown lane of a major highway, not on anyone’s lawn.

      But yeah, basically any place where parking is allowed, sleeping while parked should be allowed and protected.

          It is. It is a good place to park. That’s not what is being discussed.

          Having a place to live is an unmitigable human need. Having a car is not. A car left too long on public land should become a shelter for OTHERS.

            I think you might have missed something in your zeal, which is fine. We need more passion about such things. Just directed the right way.

            But the point being made before your comment was that anyone should be allowed to sleep -at least in their own- car, which you seem to agree with. And any public parking places where a car can sleep should be fine for a human to also sleep within said car, which you also seem to agree with.

            This isn’t about having a car or not, and its not really about sleeping in a car you find, it’s about how it’s used if it is owned by the person who wants to use it that’s being discussed. So if someone already owns a car and wants or needs to live out of it, we can agree that’s ok (everyone involved in this thread is agreeing here). And if there’s a place that is appropriate for cars to be whether anyone is in them or not, that place should be fine with people sleeping as well. (Pretty sure everyone is agreeing with that, too)

            So, everyone agrees, yay! No need to condescend when everyone agrees with you :)

            If you want to expand the topic to shelter wherever you find it, that’s a great conversation to have. It’s just not actually the one being had.
