Is it weird that I think parallel parking is easier than pulling into a space?

If I can learn to parallel park a semi with a 53' trailer I'm pretty sure you can learn how to park your Mazda.

Parallel parking is just 180degree handbrake turn parking but with fewer style points and more steps.

Genuinely though, it's car specific but my driving instructor had a bit of tape on the rear windscreen, and once the last part of the car you were next to passed that bit of tape, you started your turn in. It was a delightfully simple system that took 50% of the work out of parallel parking.

If you are bad at driving have you considered taking the bus?

I unironically love parking lots & garages, and feel like a city without parking is a prison.

If I had my druthers, existing bike lanes would be turned into medians, side of road parking would become bike lanes, and enough real estate converted to parking garages to meet peak demand.

Sharing a bus or train with a lot of other people every day isn't appealing because of the way a lot of other people are.

I live in a car-centric city with close-to-zero public transportation. Not having adequate parking options is immediately a deterrent for me to go to a place, and I'd rather not go unless it's a very important event that I can't avoid.
