They finally busted him. Russell Laiosa. I know the NY Post is a rag, but it’s the first article I found confirming an arrest.

    unpopular opinion: On street parking is a mistake.

    It creates problems like this and takes way too much policing to prevent streets from looking like dumps, disrupts visibility and results in overly large streets that require oversized, polluting stormwater solutions while limiting space for buildings and people.

      The problem with removing on street parking is the cars have to go somewhere, most likely larger parking lots. Now if they made more bike lanes and better public transportation alternatives we wouldn’t have this problem.

        I haven’t dived into the article, but it is about NYC where public transit is good enough that owning a car just isn’t necessary like most of the US.

        On-street parking even exists in Amsterdam, it’s definitely less than in cities with less bike lanes/sane infrastructure but there’s still some pretty much everywhere.

          I mean they’re starting to implement car-less city centers. Im all for it! Have a big (free) car park near a train/metro station and take public transport into the center.
