If you read the general internet it's all mobbed up guys stealing cars from law-abiding single mothers for no reason at all but then again if I believed the general public about parking violation enforcement here in germany I'd come to the conclusion they're the new jews.

So how bad is that whole privatized towing / enforcement thing, really? Is there an actual problem beyond "it's a private company" or is it mostly carbrain tears?

Your everywhere-is-free-parking service is incompatible with crosswalks and bike lanes and sidewalks. You've outflanked Musk on carbrain and call others reactionary.

you are just a "but but the welfare queens will steal all the groceries with their food stamps and sell them for crack" crank who hates poor people who serve you. If you find your views aligning with Musk and communists mocking you for being a reactionary, maybe have some introspection of your heinous ass opinion

This isn't a fabricated concern. Our bike lanes are regularly blocked by cars. If you lower the price of blocking the bike lane to $0, people will do that more. The poorest people, by the way, don't have cars and are also inconvenienced by cars on the crosswalk, bike lane and sidewalk. But fuck them, right?
