    Lower income residence can’t afford cars dude. Take the local minimum wage, find an apartment that could be reasonably split up between n-roomates and then do the math on where the money goes from there. It’s expensive to be poor.

      I don’t disagree with your last statement. However, “house poor” is a thing. People squeaking by on the mortgages. They don’t deserve parking near their homes?

        “House Poor” is white people problems morty. Imagine actually being housing insecure and not by choice.

          I’m gonna hard disagree with you here. And not sure how race factors into bike lanes or parking.

        What does their code/law say? If they don’t have on-site parking then that’s a feature and not a bug.

          Say you have a two car garage, and your kid turns 18 and they need a car to get to college. You give them your old car and buy yourself an EV. They can’t park on the street they live on due to a bike lane. Is that fair to a family paying property taxes in Berkley?

            1. they’re well enough off that they can afford to commute to college instead of living on campus.
            2. it is fair, that’s the point of public taxes and social services. Is it fair that I have to subsidize O&G through my federal tax dollars even though I don’t own a vehicle?
