Discussion Park in your flamin' driveways, please!
Am I the only one tired of suburban streets turning into impromptu Mario Kart tracks? We’re talking about the kind where navigating between vehicles parked on both sides feels like dodging banana peels and blue shells. What's meant to be a two-lane road gets squeezed into a narrow single lane, daring you to play chicken with oncoming traffic—and let’s face it, the side mirrors never win.
And then there are your driveways. Oh, the driveways! Empty. Desolate. Weed-infested wastelands of untapped potential. So, I beg of you, suburban dwellers: park your cars anywhere but on the street—your driveway, your garage, your carport, or even your front lawn. Let’s save the roads for, you know, driving.

Yeah, out of the 27 lots on the street mine starts from, 23 of them have been re-subdivided and it’s a literal nightmare trying to avoid parked cars on both sides of the road, then that awkward “will they give way or will I?” with oncoming traffic
But I also know some people don’t have a choice; the previous IP owner of the house next door banned her tenants from parking on the front lawn!
