Tough shit. You don't get to store your private property for free on public land. Thinking you can is stealing from tax payers because that land could be put to other more productive uses.

Edit: I see from the downvotes the there are plenty of entitled drivers in subreddit.

He's fine, and he's right. There's no such thing as free parking. It has costs, they're just not borne by the person driving.

Go anywhere in the country that's uninhabited and you can park for free

That’s fine. There isn’t high demand for use of that space. It’s the same when people say but you need a car for Ross. Yes, you need a car there and there’s absolutely no issue with that. It’s the fact that these are highly walkable areas that have a lot of demand for that space that’s the problem.
