Well, between these spots, the zillion spots for fake handicap stickers, the expectant mother slots, the vehicles with children slots, the veteran slots (I’m a veteran, but don’t need a special spot), the 15 minute pickup spots, and the employee of the month spots, maybe folks are getting pissed they can’t find a parking space any longer.
"...this parking entitlement, that parking entitlement, the other parking entitlement..."
Let’s just call the handicap spots what they really are: VIP parking for old people. Over 90% of the people who use handicap spots don’t actually need it. I don’t park in them and tell the people with placards to go suck it, that isn’t the right thing to do, either. I just shake my head at the majority that I see using them that are more physically able than me, whatever.
Some of the grocery stores have parking spots up front for cops. That’s a crock, your job doesn’t warrant you special parking. Are we going to give special parking spots to firemen, the postman, ER nurses, and search-and-rescue, too? When I saw a cop parked at the red-curb while answering a shoplifting call (not complaining about the cop that did that at all), it became obvious to me that the cop doesn’t need the parking spot to conduct official business. When he’s off the clock, he’s no more special than anybody else, so I always park in the cop spot and nobody has ever said a word to me.
I’m with you, I think it’s people who park in the charging stalls because they never see people using them. For the supposedly angry crowds shouting “F-— Tesla!!”, show me pictures or it didn’t happen. All we’re seeing are pictures of parked trucks, this whole story is a crock.
