This guy parked his car on the sidewalk, right outside a school

  That’s a lot more than mildly… Something happened since the pandemic people just have no idea how to park their cars.

    Massive entitlement, lack of consequences.

  Bleh, call the police non emergency line and get it towed. Insanity.

    Police do not care. There a huge chance they don’t arrive in time. I called on a couple of tweakers that were fucking around for 4 hours below my apartment and the cops took 5 hours to arrive. Fuck the police. Useless.

      The difference here is that enforcement of parking violations generates revenue for the police force with minimal paperwork. Tangling with tweakers generates no revenue and a bunch of paperwork. Police forces have never been about protecting the public.

  Context?

  It’s the crossing guard. They’re beloved and allowed.

  But yeah. Boo! They suck!

  Google Maps

  This is New York City, and from the Google Street View image, it looks like there’s not a lot of street parking there.

  My guess is that a number of cities with a lot of density, like NYC, probably should mandate a certain amount of public parking garage space for users in an area. Multistory parking garage space isn’t cheap, but using up street space via committing space to street parking also has costs in terms of congestion, even if the business owner doesn’t bear the costs.

    Or they could build and maintain a functional public transit network that allows people to get around without cars.

    I see your point, but I think it’s a patch on a broken system - even as someone who primarily uses a car for transportation.

    Personally, I think this person should be towed immediately. No excuse.

      also, that bus is there across a few years of street view. Why the heck does NYC need school busses in a dense city?

      If it's there that consistently, it might live there (is that a school over on the left?). But even schools that don't regularly collect students with dedicated school busses busses might want to have some for taking groups places, either transporting them between buildings in the district or for field trips or similar.

    You think the solution to parking problems is letting assholes park on the sidewalk?

      No. What in my comment gave you that impression?
