Underground parking close to their location. With enforced discount for local residents and standard price for others.
If it’s not planned – it is an issue.

I’m counting about 8 cars in the “before” picture. If we assume a household has 1-2 cars, those cars only belong to a small amount of the households on this street, of they even belong to those households at all. Most of the people living on this street probably don’t have or could very easily live without a car.

We have that issue going on right now in Long Beach. They decided to build bike lanes from the LA River to the traffic circle. But it goes through a low income and heavily working class neighborhoods where it’s going to impact their already shorted parking spots.
Edit- sure downvote away jabronis. I was at the caltrans event and rode my damn bike. I’m a fucking commuter myself.

They pay for parking somewhere else I guess. No more taxpayer subsidized parking spots for them.

Owning a car is not a fundamental right. They can either move, park elsewhere or sell the car. Imagine like in London city centre everyone thinks having a car is a right. It’s not. There’s no space for it.

“They” don’t own the street. It’s a public asset. If you don’t have off-street car parking, you are borrowing the space, and have no legal claim to it.

they can get stuffed? 🤷 the city doesn’t need to bend to the whims of storing their wheeled cages. find somewhere else to put it in the meantime, and work towards living car free if the city is properly working on it

Public transport, parking garages or bikes.

No. You are NOT actually worried about those residents.
This is frustrating for me. Where I live, hideous are parked along almost every street. And what do people complain about repeatedly? That’s right, a few rental scooters that are left on the sidewalk. 🤬
Non-motorized users are fighting with each other over 1% of the transportation infrastructure when we should be fighting *together* for a larger share.

Looks like a European inner city. Safe to say that a small minority of people living in such places owns a car.

Buckingham Palace has six parking spaces. Cope.

Cars don’t look great, it’s true. But the pic is unfair, there are plenty of differences between in that picture that make the carless one look better. Lightning, painting, cobblestones in the ground, etc.

It was never “their parking “ in the first place.

If you want a place with guaranteed parking then you buy a place with off street parking. You don’t own the street parking.

There are places in NYC where you can’t park outside your building. You have to rent a space in a lot (either surface or auto-stackers) or in a garage, often blocks away from where you live. This is certainly nothing new in dense urban areas.

Here’s a great book about the effects of parking in cities. [paved paradise](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1984881159?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
