Portland, Oregon faces a huge housing crisis. To avoid people becoming homeless, authorities recently allowed small apartment buildings. Look at how some folks are reacting (lemmy.world)

Growing pains are totally understandable. Some people simply don't want to change or refuse to adapt. I can't be too empathetic for them.

But I wonder how truly real this problem is.

Like, do those residents have four families living under one roof with six cars to park? If so, they really are SOL. No place should have to accommodate that.

If ALL parking was removed, then they really need to contact their representative to find a remedy. Even if local businesses/malls could handle any overflow until this has been sorted out.

But it also makes me wonder if the public was ever consulted, or perhaps they were and the people complaining made not effort to provide input before these plans were put into motion. Who knows?

But car dependency really messes everyone's shit. That's for sure.

Genuinely think car bombs are the solution here, but id blow myself up a hundred times before getting anything to the street.
