Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

My road is narrow (built 1860) and you can't park on the curb because the trees are enormous. You also definitely can't fit any vehicle down which isn't a small compact car.

Delivery drivers and vans never even try, you see people reversing daily because there's zero chance of turning around if everyone's drive is occupied.

My driveway gets blocked in weekly and have to fight off people "just parking for 10 mins" on a regular basis. I hate those people, my wife needs to do emergency visits to patients and often can't LEAVE the driveway for hours.

It's a absolute nightmare and parking is out of control, people feel they have a right to park outside of their destination.

We have tried to hang the car into the road just so we can't get blocked in but then that defeats the purpose of the drive (and blocks the pavement. There's no winning for us
