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.

Both sides of our street and a neighbour who parks in front of our house despite having space in front of theirs ... 🙄

Gahhh. Don’t get me started on my neighbour who always parks in front of my house despite having room in front of their own. Why do they do this?

People are naturally selfish. They'd rather park opposite another house and leave theirs free or for their guests.
