Parking in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

Why do we need parks?  Just buy bigger back yards!  Community Gardens?  Buy a bigger back yard!  Sewer systems?  Get a septic system!  Why do people ask the city to hold and process their shit for them????

I mean, you guys are pretty funny.  Again, public space is given uses according to the wishes of the majority.  If you want to change the usage, make compelling arguments (of which there are many).  But there are also lots of places where its totally reasonable to let residents park on the road.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here.  I'm not suggesting that we don't have parking, I'm suggesting that one homeowner doesn't have a right to personally monopolize that public space for their exclusive personal use.  It's like, why should I buy a back yard, I'm just going to fence in a part of the park and call it mine.
