[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone ever tried parking on a street with mixed housing?  Our friends live on a street that has SFHs and is adjacent to some duplexes and condos.  It's a nightmare. One family has three cars, and that's enough to disrupt the entire parking balance.  There are cars parked up and down both sides of the street, which means only one car can get through at a time.  They cannot park in front of their own house, there is never space for people who come over etc.  [/quote]

Discouraging parking and cars is a feature not a bug. #carfreediet[/quote]

Oh please. You can’t be “car free in Arlington.” And the push for it hasn’t worked for the past twenty years. Give me a break.[/quote]

Arlington hasn’t actually done sh** to discourage car ownership. On my SFH street it’s residents of said SFHs who own 4 or more cars who litter the street with their cars. It’s ridiculous. Arlington should tax the hell out of more than one or two cars per household. We have multiple neighbors who have two adult residents, but “garage” their adult childrens’ cars because it’s free street parking not too far from home and otherwise their kids would have to pay $$$$ in their $$$$ condos for on-site parking. Guess which option they’d choose? And we have other neighbors who just get new cars and never get rid of the old ones. Literally, a car that isn’t working just parked in the driveway, just sitting there for years, another working car in the driveway, and then two additional cars parked on the street. Tax the bell out of that nonsense and they’ll stop. [/quote]
