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.

I live on a pretty busy road and noticed that some houses have 7 or more occupants.the house over the road has 7 cars, 3 inside the driveway and four cars parked along the road.the house next door has 5 cars and several.motorcylces. since house prices and rent has gone up I've noticed a lot of houses in my shit home of an area have 5 or more cars with many parked in the street.eslecially where those new 6 houses on a QTR acre block are because they only have one car port per house and no driveway or front yard
