    Doesn’t matter. They’re all pretty cheap & there are tricks to getting them off. What really will fuck you is they enter in all your vehicle information, they’ll grab your address & everything, and they’ll legally harass & fine the shit out of you.

    Everybody involved kinda sucks. None of this is okay. I think it’s pretty fucking stupid, to pay for parking, to pay parking tickets. BUT: the alternative to all these cute little boots & wasting your time, money is they physically yoink your car & impound it in a towyard. Which is annoying AF. So instead they boot it & hope you’re a decent, normal person that doesn’t crack car boots.

    …so if you find your car booted, unless you want to encourage them towing away vehicles all willy-nilly…just pay the stupid fine. And try not to park in pay lots in the future.

        Not taking a side but still trying to start a fight. Interesting take.

        But sure if you want it: Drivers or not, free parking and the driving incentive it provides are massive drains on the taxpayers. It’s a net-negative. The fuckcars crowd can back everything with historical examples, studies, and all manner of hard evidence and the people that don’t even know how many cylinders their cars have only have embarrassing outrage. Of course they’re annoyed, car-centric infrastructure is actively hurting everyone and not a scrap evidence shows that it’s truly beneficial for literally anyone save for incredibly niche cases that aren’t ever what anyone is talking about. You should be pissed.
